    The reason I chose to weigh Seraphina’s Promise, chapter quiz 25/25 is because this assignment is based on the student’s ability to listen, comprehend, and answer questions pertaining to the text through a paper test.

Krashen (1981) explains that while these three conditions are necessary, they are not sufficient for monitoring to happen since the learner might not use the previously acquired knowledge. Ellis (2003) criticizes that Krashen sees monitoring mainly as a post learning process or tool…
