  • More about Input

The impact of language on interlanguage development within individuals is a crucial aspect of second language learning, with implicit input-based learning being the heart of acquisition. Two teaching options are available: trust natural processes or direct them to selected input features. Trusting natural processes is preferable.

Input is a crucial aspect of second language learning, as it plays a significant role in the development of interlanguage within individuals. This Element provides an overview of the key concepts related to input and the major lines of research exploring its nature and its role in second language learning. It then presents a coherent picture of input and its role in development, emphasizing the place of consciousness. In current perspectives, implicit (unconscious) input-based learning is the heart of second language acquisition, suggesting two general options for teaching: (a) trust the natural implicit processes, trying to create optimal conditions for them; (b) direct those processes to selected features of the input, probably using explicit instruction. The conclusion is that (a) appears preferable.
