Visual Language Learning Principles

The document discusses theories of second language acquisition, including interaction theory where language proficiency develops through comprehensible face-to-face communication. It also discusses scaffolding designed interactions to make communication more understandable for learners and how this leads to a willingness to communicate. Comprehensible input that can be understood by learners is key to acquisition occurring as the learner is exposed to easier concepts before more difficult ones.
