Correct Response: B. The Natural Approach is based on Krashen's Monitor Model, which suggests that language acquisition is most successful when a language learner receives comprehensible input in meaningful contexts such as conversations, hands-on activities, and games, and when lessons are focused primarily on meaning rather than on explicit language forms. A is incorrect because direct instruction and error correction are not tenets of the Natural Approach. C is incorrect because it is closer to earlier behaviorist methods that emphasized language drills. Although D refers to "natural growth" in a positive learning environment, it does not emphasize using language within meaningful interactions, which makes it incorrect.
