The comprehension approach is most strongly associated with the ''Krashen & Terrell (1983). has not been widely applied. The comprehension approach is based on Theories of Linguistics , specifically Krashen's Monitor Theory ,Krashen (1982). and is also inspired by research on Second Language Acquisition in Children , particularly the Silent Period phenomenon in which many young learners initially tend towards minimal speaking.Winitz et al. (1995); cf. Gibbons (1985), whose own interpretation of the 'silent period' is that children's silence reflects lack of linguistic knowledge or bewilderment within their new language environment. In contrast, the communicative approach is largely a product of research in Language Education . Acar (2005: 4) . Winitz founded the International Linguistics Corporation in 1976 to supply comprehension-based materials known as '' The Learnables '';e.g. Winitz (2003); see also the International Linguistics Corporation's ''Learnables'' materials on-line. several positive articles have been published testing these picturebooks with their accompanying audio recordings, mostly with Winitz as co-author.e.g. McCandless & Winitz (1986).
