Hi everbody,

Do you know what i'm try to saying. Any teacher seeking ideas about how languages are learned will find a surfeit of theories. However, some have proved more attractive to the English Language Teaching (ELT) profession than others, probably because they concur in useful ways with idea about communicative classroom and can therefore be assimilated into current approaches. There are perhaps four areas of investigation and debate among second language acquisition researchers which deserve special attention from English language teachers: the nature of the input provided to learn how learners proccess that input; the role of classroom interaction and the role of error in language learning. Well, any suggestion?

Ok, thanks..bye.

The nature of input is a significant idea that has emerged in recent years is that comprehensible input. While intake refers to the ways in which learners process input and assimilate language to their interlanguage system. Learners will not process all the input available to them. The role of interaction in the classroom is related to the notion of input is that of output. Learners need practice in producing comprehensible output using all the language resources thay have already acquired. Lastly, with a view of language learning as a creative construction process comes the view that error is an inevitable and positive part of that process. errors are now seen as reflections of a learner's stage of interlanguage development.
