Second Language Acquisition-Interactional Hypotesis.pptx

The interactional hypothesis is a simplified description of SLA. Which tries to explain the influence of interaction in the language learning process. 
Long (1981, 1983, 1996) points out  when students engaged with the interlocutors in negotiations around meaning, the nature of the input might be qualitatively changed. 
Concern with Input is made comprehensible, so Long only focuses on how input leads to communication through modified, negotiated interaction and communicating ideas.

2. Definition of Interactional Hypothesis Krashen's input Hypothesis Claims that comprehensible input is important for language learning.  The effectiveness of comprehensible input is greatly increased when learners have to negotiate for meaning in face to face interaction and communication.  2

5. Interactional Hypothesis in SLA The Interaction hypothesis is a theory of SLA which states that the development of language proficiency is promoted by face-to-face interaction and communication. The idea existed in the 1980s, but is usually credited to Michael Long for his 1996 paper The role of the linguistic environment in second language acquisition.  There are two forms of the Interaction Hypothesis: the "strong" form and the "weak" form. The "strong" form is the position that the interaction itself contributes to language development. The "weak" form is the position that interaction is simply the way that learners find learning opportunities, whether or not they make productive use of them. 5
