2.The Monitor Hypothesis
3.The Natural Order Hypothesis
4.The Input Hypothesis
5.Affective Filter Hypothesis

5. Purpose of the natural approach
• Purpose of the natural approach
• The aim of the natural approach is to
develop communicative skills, and it is primarily
intended to be used with beginning learners.It is
presented as a set of principles that can apply to a wide
range of learners and teaching situations, and concrete
objectives depend on the specific context in which it is
used

6. three basic principles of the approach:
• "Focus of instruction is on communication
rather than its form."
• ·"Speech production comes slowly and
is never forced."
• "Early speech goes through natural stages
(yes or no response, one- word answers, lists
of words, short phrases, complete
sentences.)"

7. Steps in natural aproach
• a) Apperception
• b) Exploration
• c) Elabolasi
• d) Clarification
• e) Closing

8. Conclusion
The Natural Approach belongs to a tradition of
language acquisition where the naturalistic features of
L1 acquisition are utilized in L2 acquisition. It is an
approach that draws a variety of techniques from other
methods and approaches to reach this goal which is one
of its advantages. But the originality of this approach
does not lie in these techniques but on the emphasis on
activities based on comprehensible input and
meaningful communication rather than on only
grammatical mastery of language.
