QUESTION 1
1.1. (2 ANSWERS PROVIDED)
In the context of additional language teaching, input, interaction, and output play pivotal
roles in fostering effective language acquisition. These three components form the
backbone of comprehensible and meaningful language development.
Input, which refers to the exposure learners have to the target language, is crucial.
However, it isn’t just any input that supports learning; it has to be comprehensible input, as
posited by Krashen's Input Hypothesis. This means that the language content must be
understandable to the learner, slightly above their current proficiency level (i+1), which
challenges them and prompts learning. For instance, a teacher might use visual aids,
gestures, and simplified language to ensure students grasp new vocabulary and structures.
In a classroom setting, comprehensible input can come from listening to the teacher,
watching videos, or reading texts that are appropriately pitched at the learners' level.
