This article explores the viability of teaching a second language without explicit grammar instruction, focusing on Krashen’s Natural Approach and his theory of comprehensible input. It analyzes how language acquisition differs from language learning and evaluates the success of implicit methods in fostering communicative competence. Through a synthesis of theoretical frameworks and classroom practices, the study investigates whether naturalistic input alone can lead to linguistic fluency or if grammar remains an indispensable element. The findings suggest that while comprehensible input significantly enhances understanding and fluency, grammar instruction may still be necessary for advanced accuracy and long-term retention.
