When I wrote strong interface, I may have been thinking of "strong non-interface", as referred to here http://www.blackwellreference.com/public/tocnode?id=g9780631214823_chunk_g978063121482313_ss1-20.

The "strong interface" position, most famously associated with Robert DeKeyser, is on the other end of the spectrum--it posits, after all, that the possibility of transfer between implicit and explicit knowledge is strong.<br />2. Krashen was not the originator of acquisition-vs-learning terminology; he merely became its most famous communicator. Krashen has stated that he was taking up the use of the terms "acquisition" and "learning" as a pair by Lambert (1966), Carroll (1996), and Corder (1967).
