Ken:

Thanks for the feedback. Yes, you are absolutely right. I did assume that you had more knowledge about SLA than you actually did. My mistake is to assume that people know more about a specific subject than they actually do. However, I would rather err in this direction. At least I am not insulting people's intelligence. I guess I have exaggerated Krashen's i + 1 hypothesis. I will take your suggestions into consideration next time by summarizing the main ideas of just a few of the most important theories. I wanted to cover as many theories as I could in 15 weeks because this field is in constant flux. I don't really know which theories will endure the test of time. Good luck in Norway. I hope you find what you are looking for.
