Diane quoted from this document:
Krashen, S. (1981). Second language acquisition. Second Language Learning, 3(7), 19-39. https://www.academia.edu/download/35238869/second_languge_acquisition_and_learning.pdf
This presentation was used by Diane as reference for a 6-stages view of SLA, with "preproduction" or the Silent Period listed first. I’ve seen this sequence for SLA referenced in several other ESL webpages and documents by ESL teachers (but not in research on SLA to my recollection):
Mays, M. (n.d.). Part II: Second Language Acquisition and Introduction to WIDA. http://wpsesl.weebly.com/uploads/1/0/8/7/10871095/part_ii_sla_and_wida_lite.pdf
