    before accuracy
     Recently: allowing learners too much ‘ freedom’
    freedom’without correction and explicit
    instruction will lead to early fossilization.

    3 2. Just listen ... and read


     Provide comprehensible input through listing and/or reading activities.
    activities.
     Comprehension of meaningful language is the foundation of language
    language
    acquisition.
     Response 1: forcing students to reply on specific linguistic features
    features in
    order to interpret meaning increased the changes that they would be
    able to use these features in their own second language production.
    production.
     Response 2: Comprehension output hypothesis

    4 3. Let’
    s talk
     comprehensible input and conversational interactions with teachers
    teachers and other
    students
     Negotiate for meaning

     Development features develop along a particular development path.
    path.
     Variationalfeatures can be taught at any time.
     Quantity and quality of instruction affect the results.
     Results are not available.

    7 6. Get it right in the end


     Many language features will be acquire naturally if learners have
    have adequate
    exposure to the language and a motivation to learn.
     Form-
    Form-focused instruction and corrective feedback within communicative second
    language programs can improve learners’
    learners’use of particular grammatical features.
     Opportunities for continued use may contribute to continued improvement.
