Krashen believes that language learners must build on their knowledge through processing language at a level slightly beyond their ability: 'current competence + 1' (i +1).[1] This is also known as instructional scaffolding.

One of Krashen's most important ideas is that in order for a learner to acquire a language, he must be exposed to 'comprehensible input' which is roughly tuned to a level slightly higher than he can himself produce. He distinguishes this from 'learned' language. 'Acquisition' occurs in communicative situations in the 'real world'. 'Acquired' knowledge is readily available to communicate meaning. 'Learning' occurs through formal training (the classroom); it cannot be used to communicate meaning. Instead, it monitors the grammatical use of 'acquired' language knowledge.
