‘THE INFLUENCE OF KRASHEN’S HYPOTHESES ON SECOND LANGUAGE LEARNERS’

Abstract

This research investigates the adult L2 learner's linguistic proficiency. As an
example, two teenage students, who are studying at lyceum under TSTU at the same
group, are chosen. The name of the first student is Peach and the second one is
Pineapple. Peach is a very hardworking student; she came from pre-intermediate level.
Also, it should be pointed out that Peach is from typical Uzbek family, however, she
speaks Russian very fluently. As soon as she is a second-course student, she has an
extrinsic motivation to study English. Her purpose is successfully entering the
university. Coming up to the second learner (Pineapple) it needs to be mentioned that
he is a student of the beginner level. He also came from a typical Uzbek family. The
only language that he speaks is Uzbek. Pineapple has a lack of motivation to study a
language. What is more, he has not any purpose for further education.
