Natural Approach
Learning a LE you are achieved with prior teaching pronunciation, grammar, vocabulary, etc. As opposed to the mother tongue that all these aspects are learned unconsciously, foreign language usually learn in a different context, most of the time in the classroom, then learning is conscious and gradual. However, when the process of teaching / learning is aimed at children from kindergarten or primary requires a natural approach to the learner to acquire a foreign language in a playful way and unconscious. (Moya Jimenez Guijarro and Puado, 2004, p.129)
We believe that the natural method is ideal since it is based on the teaching / learning naturally, based on the similarities of the acquisition of the mother tongue and foreign, as well as the critical period still present in the first cycle of Primary Education . For this reason the natural method will serve the age factor. Krashen's theories discussed above, have served as the basis and reference to the method, which is especially formulated for learning foreign languages at an early age. Below we will explain the natural method from the five hypothesis Krashen, using each as a reason for this choice:
The acquisition-learning hypothesis emphasizes that complete mastery of a language is achieved with the acquisition and not learning, so the acquisition of English in EP You will have to be natural and unconscious in the same way that breast is acquired.
Assuming the natural order must refer to the master EP You must be aware of the mechanisms of acquisition of both the mother tongue and foreign, to know what the student can give him. It will be impossible for the child to get achievements in LE if you have not yet reached that stage in the first language.
As for the hypothesis of the monitor, the master shall conduct the learner to feel the need to use English as a communication tool.
The hypothesis of the input, in this sense, the teacher must produce a basic language they understand their students well while being a bit above their knowledge to get the input (i + 1) in them and so these get progress in their learning.
We must take into account the stage of silence for the student passes. Although the trainee has moments that do not talk is not synonymous with failure, but that students are evolving and building new structures of the English language.
In conclusion, we reaffirm the idea that the natural method is ideal for this process of teaching / learning as it is based on the communicative use of English naturally. Thus, the apprentice is in "critical period" unconsciously learn this language, without realizing and using English as a necessary tool to communicate.
To complete the natural method, which can say that naturally stimulates communication skills, we think you need to add movement to conclude this election. This movement will be achieved by the TPR, which compaginaremos with the natural method to get the apprentice early age by moving anime, encourage and attract the use of communication skills. And as we said before these two methods get collated children develop the first two linguistic skills that can be acquired:
• Listen (understanding)
• Expression (communication)
