This article will analyze the input hypothesis, one of the five hypotheses that formed Stephen Krashen's Monitor Model, which in turn served as the theoretical basis of the natural approach method. The article will provide an overview of the main provisions of the hypothesis, as well as practical pedagogical advice for teachers of foreign languages. Stephen Krashen’s Monitor Model is one the most ambitious theories of the second language studying process. Krashen has argued that his account provides a general or overall theory of the second language acquisition with important implications for language teaching.
