Borrowing from Freddy Mercury: “I want to be free” (from false dichotomies).  

I’ve come to the conclusion that Krashen’s ideas, while sound, do exist at the end of the pendulum’s range. We must place them there to be able to discuss them as separate and new. 

But in reality, there’s a spectrum of thinking. There are points of balance that each person must decide about themselves. 

So it’s not between No grammar or All grammar. It’s some grammar. It’s not word lists learned consciously or unconsciously. It’s a mix of the two.

Therefore, it’s about figuring out where one stands.
