This document summarizes research on the role of language input in second language acquisition. It discusses three main types of language input: pre-modified input, interactionally modified input, and modified output. Pre-modified input involves language that has been simplified before being presented to learners. Interactionally modified input occurs through negotiation of meaning between learners and their interlocutors. Modified output results from learners modifying their language production. The document also discusses other potential types of input, such as incomprehensible input and comprehensible output. Overall, it analyzes debates around what constitutes effective language input for second language learning.
The Ekegusii Determiner Phrase Analysis in the Minimalist ProgramBasweti Nobert
Among some of the recent syntactic developments, the noun phrase has been reanalyzed
as a determiner phrase (DP). This study analyses the Ekegusii determiner
phrase (DP) with an inquiry into the relationship between agreement of the INFL
(sentence) and concord in the noun phrase (determiner phrase). It hypothesizes that
the Ekegusii sentential Agreement has a symmetrical relationship with the Ekegusii
Determiner Phrase internal concord and feature checking theory and full
interpretation (FI) in the Minimalist Program is adequate in the analysis of the
internal structure of the Ekegusii DP. In employing the Minimalist Program (MP),
the study shall first seek to establish the domain of the NP in the Ekegusii DP and
go ahead to do an investigation into the adequacy of the Minimalist Program in
analyzing the Ekegusii DP. This study is also geared towards establishing the order
of determiners in the DP between the D-head and the NP complement. The study
concludes that the principles of feature checking and full interpretation in the
minimalist program are mutually crucial in ensuring that Ekegusii constructions (DP
and even the sentence) are grammatical (converge). This emphasizes the fact that
the MP is adequate in Ekegusii DP analysis.
A ROBUST THREE-STAGE HYBRID FRAMEWORK FOR ENGLISH TO BANGLA TRANSLITERATIONkevig
Phonetic typing using the English alphabet has become widely popular nowadays for social media and chat services. As a result, a text containing various English and Bangla words and phrases has become increasingly common. Existing transliteration tools display poor performance for such texts. This paper proposes a robust Three-stage Hybrid Transliteration (THT) framework that can transliterate both English words and phonetic typed Bangla words satisfactorily. This is achieved by adopting a hybrid approach of dictionary-based and rule-based techniques. Experimental results confirm superiority of THT as it significantly outperforms the benchmark transliteration tool.
Inter rater agreement study on readability assessment in bengaliijnlc
An inter-rater agreement study is performed for readability assessment in Bengali. A 1-7 rating scale was
used to indicate different levels of readability. We obtained moderate to fair agreement among seven
independent annotators on 30 text passages written by four eminent Bengali authors. As a by product of
our study, we obtained a readability-annotated ground truth dataset in Bengali.
Grammar is the basic of a language. Without learning grammar language learning is incomplete. Now a day, communicative English has diminished the importance of teaching grammar. As a result, proper English learning is being hampered in many levels. Learners are using English without learning it. Communicative English has strengthened the speaking skills of the learners. But without proper use of Grammar non-native learners are not being able to write in English as much as they speak. Of course, linguistic competence and communicative competence is not the same thing but without one the other is vague. The misconception about the implementation of the modern method Communicative Language Teaching (CLT) is that it does not incorporate Grammar. From this misconception Grammar is being ignored and it has become important to bring about a change in the selection and grading procedures of communicative grammar teaching materials. This paper deals with the importance of explicit and implicit grammar, suggestion about the implementation of strong and weak version of CLT, needs analysis, selection and grading procedures to choose appropriate materials for teaching communicative English grammar in different levels of CLT classroom in Bangladesh.

Metaphor as a Means to Write a Good English TextRusdi Noor Rosa
A written text should be different from a spoken text for their different characteristics. The complexity of grammar in clause constructions of written texts may serve as the core distinguishing factor between the two kinds of texts. However, the question arises about how complex or how complicated the written text grammar is. This paper is aimed at applying the concept of systemic functional linguistics based metaphor to distinguish a written text from a spoken text. The application of the metaphor concept is related to the lexical density of a clause through which a characteristic of a written text is generated. The realization of lexical density should give a credit to nominalization as a technique of reducing the number of clauses in a written text. Furthermore, a written text is closely related to a scientific text taking academicians including students, teachers, and lecturers as the readers. This paper also demonstrates the way of reformulating spoken texts into written texts. This concept is particularly helpful for those in the writing process of their final projects at universities.
EXTRACTING LINGUISTIC SPEECH PATTERNS OF JAPANESE FICTIONAL CHARACTERS USING ...kevig
This study extracted and analyzed the linguistic speech patterns that characterize Japanese anime or game characters. Conventional morphological analyzers, such as MeCab, segment words with high performance, but they are unable to segment broken expressions or utterance endings that are not listed in the dictionary, which often appears in lines of anime or game characters. To overcome this challenge, we propose segmenting lines of Japanese anime or game characters using subword units that were proposed mainly for deep learning, and extracting frequently occurring strings to obtain expressions that characterize their utterances. We analyzed the subword units weighted by TF/IDF according to gender, age, and each anime character and show that they are linguistic speech patterns that are specific for each feature. Additionally, a classification experiment shows that the model with subword units outperformed that with the conventional method.
INTEGRATION OF PHONOTACTIC FEATURES FOR LANGUAGE IDENTIFICATION ON CODE-SWITC...kevig
In this paper, phoneme sequences are used as language information to perform code-switched language
identification (LID). With the one-pass recognition system, the spoken sounds are converted into
phonetically arranged sequences of sounds. The acoustic models are robust enough to handle multiple
languages when emulating multiple hidden Markov models (HMMs). To determine the phoneme similarity
among our target languages, we reported two methods of phoneme mapping. Statistical phoneme-based
bigram language models (LM) are integrated into speech decoding to eliminate possible phone
mismatches. The supervised support vector machine (SVM) is used to learn to recognize the phonetic
information of mixed-language speech based on recognized phone sequences. As the back-end decision is
taken by an SVM, the likelihood scores of segments with monolingual phone occurrence are used to
classify language identity. The speech corpus was tested on Sepedi and English languages that are often
mixed. Our system is evaluated by measuring both the ASR performance and the LID performance
separately. The systems have obtained a promising ASR accuracy with data-driven phone merging
approach modelled using 16 Gaussian mixtures per state. In code-switched speech and monolingual
speech segments respectively, the proposed systems achieved an acceptable ASR and LID accuracy.
Applying metaphor in writing English scientific textsRusdi Noor Rosa
Most of English texts written by Indonesian students do not reflect the characteristics of English written text, even their texts resemble spoken texts conveyed through writing. A written text should be different from a spoken text for their different characteristics. The complexity of grammar in clause constructions of written texts may serve as the core distinguishing factor between the two kinds of texts. However, the question arises about how complex or how complicated the written text grammar is. This article is aimed at applying the concept of systemic functional linguistics-based metaphor (SFL-based metaphor) to distinguish a written text from a spoken text. In particular, this article applies the SFL-based metaphor concept in improving the dissertation proposal texts of the students. The application of the SFL-based metaphor concept is related to the lexical density of a clause through which a characteristic of a written text is generated. The realization of lexical density should give a credit to nominalization as a technique of reducing the number of clauses in a written text. Furthermore, a written text is closely related to a scientific text taking academicians including students, teachers, and lecturers as the readers. The data were 10 dissertation proposals written by the students of Linguistics Doctoral Program at the University of Sumtera Utara some of which are presented in this article to demonstrate the process of applying the SFL-based metaphor in improving the texts. Applying this concept is particularly helpful for those in the writing process of their final projects at universities.
A NEW METHOD OF TEACHING FIGURATIVE EXPRESSIONS TOIRANIAN LANGUAGE LEARNERScscpconf
In teaching languages, if we only consider direct relationship between form and meaning in language and leave psycholinguistic aside, this approach is not a successful practice and language learners won't be able to make a successful relation in the real contexts. The present study intends to answer this question: is the teaching method in which salient meaning is taught more successful than the method in which literal or figurative meaning is taught or not? To answer the research question, 30 students were selected. Every ten people are formed as a group and three such groups were formed. Twenty figurative expressions were taught to every group. Group one was taught the figurative meaning of every expression. Group two was taught the literal meaning and group three was taught the salient meaning. Then three groups were tested. After analyzing data, we concluded that there was a significant difference in mean grades between classes and the class trained under graded salience hypothesis was more successful. This shows that traditional teaching methods must be revised.
MORPHOLOGICAL ANALYZER USING THE BILSTM MODEL ONLY FOR JAPANESE HIRAGANA SENT...kevig
This study proposes a method to develop neural models of the morphological analyzer for Japanese Hiragana sentences using the Bi-LSTM CRF model. Morphological analysis is a technique that divides text data into words and assigns information such as parts of speech. In Japanese natural language processing systems, this technique plays an essential role in downstream applications because the Japanese language does not have word delimiters between words. Hiragana is a type of Japanese phonogramic characters, which is used for texts for children or people who cannot read Chinese characters. Morphological analysis of Hiragana sentences is more difficult than that of ordinary Japanese sentences because there is less information for dividing. For morphological analysis of Hiragana sentences, we demonstrated the effectiveness of fine-tuning using a model based on ordinary Japanese text and examined the influence of training data on texts of various genres.
Robust extended tokenization framework for romanian by semantic parallel text...ijnlc
Tokenization is considered a solved problem when reduced to just word borders identification, punctuation
and white spaces handling. Obtaining a high quality outcome from this process is essential for subsequent
NLP piped processes (POS-tagging, WSD). In this paper we claim that to obtain this quality we need to use
in the tokenization disambiguation process all linguistic, morphosyntactic, and semantic-level word-related
information as necessary. We also claim that semantic disambiguation performs much better in a bilingual
context than in a monolingual one. Then we prove that for the disambiguation purposes the bilingual text
provided by high profile on-line machine translation services performs almost to the same level with
human-originated parallel texts (Gold standard). Finally we claim that the tokenization algorithm
incorporated in TORO can be used as a criterion for on-line machine translation services comparative
quality assessment and we provide a setup for this purpose.

How to integrate culture in second language educationEhsan Abbaspour
Whether culture should be taught as a separate subject is a controversial issue in the field second language
education. Another equally important question is what the main aims of teaching culture are. Regarding the
importance of teaching culture in second language classrooms, many scholars today believe that culture and
language are inseparable and culture learning must be an integral part of language learning. The present study is
to give an account of the important place that culture holds in foreign and second language education. It further
elaborates on what culture is and different approaches to teaching it. Finally, some key and practical issues
concerning integrating culture into second language classrooms will be addressed.

EXPLORING THE POTENTIALS OF INTRALINGUAL SUBTITLING IN SECOND LANGUAGE LEARNI...ijejournal
In the last two decades, Audiovisual Translation (AVT) studies have become of interest for Second Language Acquisition (SLA) researchers, particularly regarding the use of subtitles in language learning activities. This paper will present an experiment aimed at investigating the role of subtitled 'input enhancement' in SLA. The study involved a group of Italian native students of English as a Foreign Language (EFL) from Milan University. They were exposed to a video with three different subtitling techniques (interlingual subtitles, intralingual subtitles, and enhanced intralingual subtitles), and they were asked to perform a proficiency test immediately after the exposure to the video. The study showed that visual enhancements in the subtitled input improve learners’ noticing process of language features, thus facilitating short-term vocabulary acquisition. The results proved that future SLA and AVT cross-studies should focus on input enhancement in the subtitles to improve learners’ noticing process of language features in the inputSecond Language Acquisition, Audiovisual Translation, Subtitles, Language Teaching, Vocabulary

The major thrust of this research has been a psycholinguistic analysis of effectiveness of topic familiarity and two types of translation tasks (from L1 to L2 and L2 to L1) on retention of incidental vocabulary learning for a longer duration. The effects of translation tasks and topic familiarity have been studied individually .However, the relative effect of topic familiarity conditions and translation in two directions have not been attended to in longer period of time. In doing so, thirty intermediate EFL students were asked to translate a few texts in two directions with two conditions of topic (un)familiarity .Each text contains some unknown words .The students were tested on these unknown words and the responses were examined in immediate and delayed post tests. The delayed post test session held after 2 weeks. The results show that, unlike the revised hierarchical model (RHM), translation task directions did not have significant effect on incidental vocabulary learning while retention was more effective with topic familiar texts in the both tests .In addition, topic familiarity of the texts play an important part in the process of incidental vocabulary learning. The article concludes with some suggestions for task designing and vocabulary teaching.
Regarding the importance of the term corrective feedback, this study was an attempt to investigate probable impacts of explicit and implicit corrective feedbacks on learners’ levels of grammatical range and accuracy in their language learning and production. One-hundred pre-intermediate EFL learners, with an age range of 18-26, were participated in this study. They were assigned into four groups: one control group who received no treatment and three experimental groups who received three different types of corrective feedbacks (recast, error code, and explanation). The outcomes of the present study confirmed the efficacy of explicit feedback strategies than that of implicit and suggested that learners who used explanation as an explicit corrective feedback strategy achieved higher scores than those who used recast and error code feedback strategies.
A Study on the Perception of Jordanian EFL Learners’ Pragmatic Transfer of Re...Yasser Al-Shboul
This study investigates the perception of Jordanian EFL learners’ (JEFL) pragmatic transfer of refusal strategies in
terms of contextual and cultural factors. Data were collected using a discourse completion test (DCT) and a scaledresponse
questionnaire (SRQ) to elicit perception data from the participants. Data from the SRQ were analyzed based
on the speaker’s right to refuse the initiating act. Findings revealed that the right the speaker has to refuse the initiating
act was assigned high ratings by the three groups (i.e., M > 3.00) in all social categories. Individually, however, the
groups displayed the rating value differently where the AEL1 group’s perception of the speaker’s right was relatively
higher than that of the JEFL and JAL1 groups in all the social categories. The JEFL participants’ negative pragmatic
transfer criteria were met in the first and third social categories. The study concludes with a discussion of important
directions for future research.

Digital discourse markers in an ESL learning setting: The case of socialisati...James Cook University
Shakarami, A., Hajhashemi, K., & Caltabiano, N. (2016). International Journal of Instruction, 9(2), 167-182. doi: 10.12973/iji.2016.9212a
Analysis of the linguistic discourse plays an important role in the social, cultural, ethnographic, and comparative studies of languages. Discourse markers as indispensable parts of this analysis are reportedly more common in informal speech than in written language. They could be used at different levels, i.e. as „linking words‟, „linking phrases‟, or „sentence connectors‟ to bind together pieces of a text like „glue‟. The objective of the study is to ascertain the discourse markers employed in synchronous online interactions and networking through constant comparison of discourse markers used in the discussion forums (DF) with the discourse markers already reported in the literature. The study maintains discourse markers (DMs) used in the formal written discourse in order to identify any probable pragmatic, or discoursal level differences in the DMs used in the two modes of writing (formal writing and typing in online communication). The findings indicate that the written language that students use in their electronic posts is to a great extent similar to that of the process view of writing. Specifically, the written language used in a digital socialisation forum is at times, monitored, reviewed, revised, and corrected by the students themselves and their peers.

Securing your Kubernetes cluster_ a step-by-step guide to success !KatiaHIMEUR1
Today, after several years of existence, an extremely active community and an ultra-dynamic ecosystem, Kubernetes has established itself as the de facto standard in container orchestration. Thanks to a wide range of managed services, it has never been so easy to set up a ready-to-use Kubernetes cluster.
However, this ease of use means that the subject of security in Kubernetes is often left for later, or even neglected. This exposes companies to significant risks.

zkStudyClub - Reef: Fast Succinct Non-Interactive Zero-Knowledge Regex ProofsAlex Pruden
This paper presents Reef, a system for generating publicly verifiable succinct non-interactive zero-knowledge proofs that a committed document matches or does not match a regular expression. We describe applications such as proving the strength of passwords, the provenance of email despite redactions, the validity of oblivious DNS queries, and the existence of mutations in DNA. Reef supports the Perl Compatible Regular Expression syntax, including wildcards, alternation, ranges, capture groups, Kleene star, negations, and lookarounds. Reef introduces a new type of automata, Skipping Alternating Finite Automata (SAFA), that skips irrelevant parts of a document when producing proofs without undermining soundness, and instantiates SAFA with a lookup argument. Our experimental evaluation confirms that Reef can generate proofs for documents with 32M characters; the proofs are small and cheap to verify (under a second).

Epistemic Interaction - tuning interfaces to provide information for AI supportAlan Dix
Paper presented at SYNERGY workshop at AVI 2024, Genoa, Italy. 3rd June 2024
https://alandix.com/academic/papers/synergy2024-epistemic/
As machine learning integrates deeper into human-computer interactions, the concept of epistemic interaction emerges, aiming to refine these interactions to enhance system adaptability. This approach encourages minor, intentional adjustments in user behaviour to enrich the data available for system learning. This paper introduces epistemic interaction within the context of human-system communication, illustrating how deliberate interaction design can improve system understanding and adaptation. Through concrete examples, we demonstrate the potential of epistemic interaction to significantly advance human-computer interaction by leveraging intuitive human communication strategies to inform system design and functionality, offering a novel pathway for enriching user-system engagements.

Abstract
The role and the importance of language input in second language acquisition are not questioned. In fact, a
pool of researchers in realm second language acquisition agrees on the fact that some sort of language input
is necessary for second language acquisition to take place. In other word, second language acquisition
cannot take place without considering having exposure to some type of language data. In this relation, pre-
modified input, interactionally modified input, and modified output are the three types of language input
which have the potential to provide the necessary comprehensible language input for language
acquisition/learning. Accordingly, the present paper aims at further investigating the most effective type of
language input by considering the amount of contribution that each type of language input has on second
language acquisition.
Key words: Language input, Second language acquisition, Role of input
1. Introduction
The role of language input in language learning has been of foremost importance in much SLA research
and theory. In fact, the review of the related literature on the role of input in developing
SLA is indicative of the fact that the majority of the studies have been concerned with the role, the
importance, and the processing of linguistic input.
However, although the role of language input has been supported by different language learning theories,
there has been some degree of disagreement in the field of language acquisition between those theories that
attribute a small or no role to language input and those attributing it a more central role. As a matter of fact,
theories of SLA attach different importance to the role of input in language acquisition process but they all
admit the need for language input. In many approaches to SLA, input is considered as being a highly
essential factor while in other approaches it has been neglected to a secondary role (Ellis, 2008).
Nevertheless, it has been widely accepted that language input provides the linguistic data necessary for the
development of the linguistic system. The concept of language input is one of the essential concepts of
SLA. In fact, no individual can learn a second language without language input of some sort (Gass, 1997).
In the same line, one of the essential theories of language learning which plays an important role in SLA
research is the input hypothesis established by Krashen (1981). The input hypothesis claims that for SLA to
take place, language learners are required to have access to a type of language input which is
comprehensible. For Krashen, the only causative variable in SLA is comprehensible input. Some
researchers (Long, 1982; Ellis, 1999; Gass & Varonis, 1994) have somehow supported the input hypothesis
by suggesting pre-modified input, interactionally modified input, and modified output as three potential
types of comprehensible input.
Accordingly, pre-modified input is a type of input which has been modified in some way before the learner
sees or hears it, interactionally modified input refers to a type of input which has been modified in
interaction with native speakers or more proficient non-native ones for the sake of comprehension, and
modified output refers to output modification to make it more comprehensible to the interlocutor. It is
necessary to clarify that a learner’s modified output can serve as another learner’s comprehensible input
(Ellis, 1999; Long, 1996).
In this regards, Long (1982) suggested input modification through providing linguistic and extralinguistic
context, orienting the communication to the simple form, and modifying the interactional structure of the
conversation as three ways to make language input comprehensible. On the basis of this argumentation,
Park (2002) also introduced pre-modified input, interactionally modified input, and modified output as
three potential sources of comprehensible input for SLA.

Vol 3, No 3, 2012
In view of the above, the present paper aims at considering these three types of comprehensible input for
SLA along with other types of language input for SLA.
2. Pre-modified input
One of the ways to make language input comprehensible is through providing the language learners with
pre-modified language input. Any spoken or written language input can be simplified or modified for the
sake of comprehension through providing less difficult vocabulary items and complex syntactic structures
which are beyond readers’ acquired language proficiency. By modifying the syntax and the lexicon of a
given oral or written language input, we try to increase text comprehensibility by ways of providing
definitions of difficult vocabulary items, paraphrasing sentences containing complex syntactic structures,
and enriching semantic details. To this end, elaboration is more preferred because elaborated input retains
the material that language learners need for developing their interlanguage and provides with natural
discourse model (Kim, 2003). Another advantage of modifying the input through elaboration is that
elaborated adjustments have the potential to supply the learners with access to the linguistic items they
have not acquired yet (Larsen-Freeman & Long, 1991).
Likewise, Parker and Chaudron (1987) highlighted the point that elaborative modifications have a positive
effect on comprehension and acquisition. In this regards, Parker and Chaudron distinguished two types of
elaborative modifications; those contributing to redundancy and those making the thematic structure
explicit. Similarly, Urano (2002) and Kong (2007) underscored the effects of lexical simplification and
elaboration on sentence comprehension and incidental vocabulary acquisition. They claimed that lexical
elaboration is more favorable than lexical simplification in terms of both reading comprehension and
vocabulary acquisition. Nevertheless, not all forms of input elaboration benefit comprehension. Ellis (1995)
highlighted the point that although elaborations might help SLA, over-elaborated language input could be
counter-productive.
3. Interactionally modified input
Another potential type of comprehensible input is interactionally modified input. The notion of
interactionally modified input refers to the changes to the target structures or lexicons in a conversation to
accommodate potential or actual problems of comprehending a message. In a study conducted by Ellis
(1994) three kinds of input conditions and their potential to facilitate comprehension were considered: the
unmodified input or baseline input which refers to a type of language input which is not modified for the
sake of comprehension, the pre-modified input which refers to a type of input that is modified or simplified
before it is given to the language learners to boost comprehension process, and interactionally modified
input which is a type of language input that is interactionally modified through negotiation of meaning to
make input comprehensible. The results of the study were indicative of the fact that interactionally
modified input significantly facilitated comprehension more than other types of input.
Long (1980) was the first researcher who made an important distinction between modified input and
interactionally modified input. According to Long, interactionally modified input emerges when the two
parts of a conversation negotiate meaning for comprehension. In fact, when language learners face
communicative problems and they have the opportunity to negotiate solutions to them, they are able to
acquire new language. Long, thus, supported the idea that interactionally modified input through
negotiation of meaning is essential for input to become comprehensible. It runs counter to Krashen’s Input
Hypothesis that restricts SLA to the most extent to simplified input (comprehensible input) along with
contextual support.
4. Modified output
Another potential type of comprehensible input for SLA is modified output. It is necessary to clarify that
the distinction between the interactionally modified input and the modified output is not apparent because
modified output occurs as a response to comprehensible input through interaction rather than in a vacuum
(Gass, 1997). Negotiation of meaning induces learners to modify their output, which in turn may stimulate
the process of language acquisition. As a result, modified output must occur in an interactional environment
(Ellis, 1999). Negotiation and modified output works interactionally since the modified output of one
learner often works as another learner’s comprehensible input and what constitutes interaction for one
learner serves as potential language input for other learners who are involved in the discourse only as

listeners.
5. Other types of language input
Because Krashen’s input hypothesis limits SLA to merely exposure to comprehensible input, many
criticisms have been directed to it around the nature and the type of language input for SLA. In this regards,
other types of language input such as incomprehensible input and comprehensible output are also
considered to enhance the process of SLA through providing the necessary input.
One of the potential types of language input is incomprehensible input (White, 1987). In his
incomprehensible input hypothesis, White underlined the point that when language learners come across
language input that is incomprehensible because their interlanguage rules cannot analyze a particular
second language structure, they have to modify those interlanguage rules to understand the structure. This
way, the incomprehensible input enhances the process of SLA. According to White, when an aspect of the
language input is comprehensible, the acquisition of the missing structures may not take place. As a matter
of fact, the incomprehensibility of some aspects of the language input to the language learners draws their
attention to specific features to be acquired.
Another type of language input is comprehensible output which is somehow similar to modified output. In
her comprehensible output hypothesis, Swain (1985) argued that in addition to comprehensible input,
comprehensible output has the potential to boost SLA. Based on comprehensible output hypothesis
language learning is reached when the language learner faces a gap in his/her linguistic knowledge of the
second language. By noticing this gap, the language learner tries to modify his/her output. This
modification of output may enhance acquiring new aspects of the language that have not been acquired yet.
In line with Swain, Romeo (2000) advocated the comprehensible output by highlighting t6he point that
output of some type is seen as a necessary phase in language acquisition. On the one hand, teachers need
students’ output in order to be able to judge their progress and adapt future materials to their needs. On the
other hand, learners need the opportunity to use the second language because when faced with
communication failure, they are forced to make their output more precise.
6. Conclusion
The role and the importance of language input in enhancing SLA have been emphasized more or less by the
majority of the researchers. In fact, language input has been considered to provide the initial data for
acquiring the language. In this regard, one of the hypotheses which has given life to many studies in
relation to the role of language input in SLA is the input hypothesis. The questionable aspect of the input
hypothesis is that it considers comprehensible input as the only potential type of data for SLA.
What can be concluded and summarized from Krashen’s input hypothesis is that the importance of
language input for SLA is not questioned and some type of language input is required for SLA.
Accordingly, some researchers have introduced modified input, interactionally modified input, and
modified output as three potential types of comprehensible input. The point should be highlighted here that
the present paper did not aim to advocate or criticize the input hypothesis. However, other types of
language input such as incomprehensible input and comprehensible output can also provide the necessary
language input for SLA.
