Abstract—Krashen believes that there exists a second language monitoring development model in the learning and acquisition process of a second language, which includes the “Acquisition and Learning Hypothesis”, “Natural Acquisition Order Hypothesis”, “Monitoring Hypothesis”, “Input Hypothesis”, and “Emotional Filtering Hypothesis”. This study starts with the core structure “i+1” in the “Input Hypothesis”, and analyzes and compares the structure and content of the representative and universal People’s Education Press (PEP) first grade English textbook (first semester) and the special Oxford first grade English textbook (first semester), exploring the similarities and differences between the two different textbooks and exploring their positive and negative effects on the comprehensibility input of “i+1”. Finally, suggestions for improving the textbooks of both parties have been proposed, which has achieved the goal of optimizing the setting of primary school English textbooks and serving compulsory primary school English classroom teaching.
Keywords—Krashen, input hypothesis, textbook comparison, “i+1”
