The study aimed to understand the language learning in the perspective of Krashen’s SLA Theory and Bandura’s Social Learning Theory as applied in classroom setting. It was bound to develop a language-learning model grounded on a theory. The research is a grounded theory design. Classroom activities were conducted casually with themes intended for inquiry and data gathering in form of observation, interview and documentation anchored on Language learning/acquisition, Monitor, Natural Order, Input and Affective filter hypotheses, together with the Social Learning Theory of Albert Bandura. All of the five language learning hypotheses of Krashen were affirmed true to the learning experience of the participants. The Social Learning theory of Albert Bandura was also proven to be true as to the participants’ language learning phenomena. It was found that language learners were not given opportunities to connect informal learning and formal learning. Their preferred learning style in the input was not, considered. Learners need social, active and concrete language models to look up.This study has generated theories such as Language learning and language acquisition can come separately and independently; Preferred learning styles in the input is causative of positive learning output; Physically active language models stimulate attention and imitation. To fill the gaps found in the three generated theories become the grounds to support a developed language learning model called Social, Active and Concrete Language Learning Model (SAC LaLeMo)The conclusions recommend for informal and informal learning attributes to be connected. Social Media learning attributes maybe provided to consider preferred language learning styles of students in the input. Social Media and other learning modalities may present active and concrete language models for students to imitate. Other researchers may consider the SAC LaLeMo to be validated.
