Subject: Principles and Practice (1982) now available for free

Krashen, S. 1982. Principles and Practice in Second Language
Acquisition is now available at www.sdkrashen.com at no charge. This
internet version is nearly identical to version originally published
in 1982.

Introduction to the 2009 Internet Version:

This is the original version of Principles and Practice, as published
in 1982, with only minor changes. It is gratifying to point out that
many of the predictions made in this book were confirmed by subsequent
research, for example, the superiority of comprehensible-input based
methods and sheltered subject matter teaching (Krashen, 2003), the
inefficacy of error correction (Truscott, 1996, 1999), and the "power
of reading" (Krashen, 2004). Subsequent research has also, in my
opinion, confirmed that in footnote 5, chapter 3, option 3 is the
correct one, that we acquire vocabulary best through comprehensible
input (Krashen, 1989; 2003).

I have changed my position on only one issue: At the end of
Principles and Practice, I suggest the use of a form of deception -
students may think they are acquiring vocabulary or learning subject
matter, but unknown to them, they are acquiring because they are
getting comprehensible input at the same time. I now think it is very
important to make a strong effort to inform students about the process
of language acquisition, so they can continue to improve on their own.
