Notice: Function _load_textdomain_just_in_time was called incorrectly. Translation loading for the woocommerce domain was triggered too early. This is usually an indicator for some code in the plugin or theme running too early. Translations should be loaded at the init action or later. Please see Debugging in WordPress for more information.

Input Hypothesis - esl-online.ca

Input Hypothesis

The Input hypothesis is Krashen’s attempt to explain how the second language acquisition takes place. According to this hypothesis, the learner improves the knowledge when they receive the second language input that is one step beyond their current knowledge [i+1]. The “i” represents the language already acquired, and “1” is a language aspect (grammatical form, aspects of pronunciation or new vocabulary) that is a step beyond the learner’s level.
