Multilingual Education For Achievement
Presented by Stephen Krashen
Research has consistently demonstrated superior academic results for multilingual education programs as well as positive social, cultural and linguistic outcomes. With California currently boasting more than four out of ten residents living in multilingual households, the time to replace California's outdated language education policy is now! Internationally renowned education policy advocate Stephen Krashen (Professor Emeritus, University of Southern California) will speak about current language education policy efforts that would help California schools provide more multilingual program opportunities for all students.

This man has changed my life.
Everything I've learned, I taught myself exactly how he described.
I know if I devoted myself to anything except spreading this word and teaching, I would be disappointed in myself.
This is my life goal. I appreciate everything he said here, and I know I need to support this movement. Thank you for sharing this full talk with us without charge.

Why did those two people put a thumb-down on this talk? It was incredible.

I think maybe the intro... why did she sound like she was laughing the whole time?

Dr. Krashen is becomiing my newest hero :)

1:12:46 one minor nitpick I have with this argument is that when shadowing at a school in Tulsa back in the late aughts, I remember feeling like their maths were a couple years behind what I had already learned in the same grade, 300 miles away. That’s not saying that I’m in disagreement with the gist of what Mr. K is saying here, tho. He’s spot on with his analysis of the failures of modern day schooling, it’s just that schools all having a more free-form style of teaching will inevitably result in some degree of discrepancy of education, especially amongst poorer and richer school systems.

I'm gonna home school my kids. Even they end up in public schools for some amount of time, they shall become exceptionally literate by home life as well.

Thank you for posting this video.

I saw Dr. Krashen give lecture at CABE in 1996 or 1997; he is still interesting, funny, and spot on.

For me as an English learner Chomsky is pretty hard to understand even that I have three books of him. He has a pretty good themes and topics.

Opinionated and over-rated - what Krashen preaches is self-explantory. As someone asks at the end, what does one teach in class? That's exactly the point - a good teacher can help greatly by explaining numerous elements that would otherwise take ages to understand through comprehensible input alone. Reading is great but Krashen's hypotheses are totally one-sided.

[@26183]

sounds like you have some other theory you ascribe to. what is it?

[@Ocklepod]

it's not comprehensible input if you aren't able to understand it from context. Also Krashen is mostly talking about language acquisition, its not like he tells you you can learn mathematical formalisms you've never seen before just by reading a book containing it

teachers can tell stories?
