In his video, Stephen Krashen Talk 1, Stephen has made some new claims that are often talked about in the academia. Krashen has talked upon phonemical error. He defines phonemical error as an activity to take a word and break it into its sounds. He says that this type of activity has been used by kids ten years ago. Learning will take place only when we become able to spell whatever we see. Stephen Krashen has also referred to Yatvin who has given some behavioural psychological theories. According to these theories, phonemical learning will never improve childrens’ reading ability as well as spelling ability. A minute distinction between training and education has been made by National Reading Panel. It has considered phonemical learning as a training.
