The document discusses the characteristics of input in foreign language (FL) and second language (SL) settings. In FL natural settings, input is modified and contains ungrammaticalities. In FL instructional settings, traditional input focuses on rules and comes from the teacher, while communicative input is used for communication and learning rules. In SL natural settings, input is modified and "unlimited." In SL traditional instructional settings, input is structurally simplified and sequenced, and access is limited. In SL communicative settings, input is simplified and contains some errors and corrections.
5. Input…:
Is simple and comprehensible(Krashen)
Is degenerate(Miller and Chomsky 1963)
Is modified
contains ungrammaticalities and
disfluencies
underdetermines linguistic competence
should be slightly above the level of the
language learner (i+1).
Available in one to one interaction
6. Traditional setting
Input…:
-Is used in the classroom/formal education
-is only to learn more about the rule of FLA
-comes from the teacher/caretaker
-mostly pay attention to the rule…
Communicative setting
-Input source is caretaker/teacher
-is just used to learn the rule
-is used in classroom/formal education
-is used in communicative process
9. Traditional Setting…
Input is…
1. Structurally simplified and sequenced
2. “Limited”
•Input is not always available
•Time of distribution of input from
the ‘source’ is limited
•Application of input is limited
10. Communicative Setting
Input is…:
1. Simplified and made comprehensible
2. “limited”
Especially in classroom:
There are still some errors
There are some error corrections
There is using of genuine questions
There are display questions
There is negotiation of meaning
