Stephen Krashen talk 1

In the video of Stephen Krashen talk 1, Krashen talks about concept of phonemic word and its awareness in language acquisition. According to him, phonemic word is basically to take word and break it into sound. Stephen claims that phonemic words cannot be procured for reading. It is entirely mis- guided. Learners can increase reading skill without noticing phonemic words. Then he gives two types of activities of phonemic word. 1) To break the word e.g. split is a word and if we remove‘s’, the word ‘plit’ lefts there. 2) To blend the word. Then he mentions Yetkin who claims that phonemic are training and training is different from education.
