Input theory
• Krashen (1985) supposes that language
learners acquire that language by
understanding the message in the input by
hearing and reading.
• The input hypothesis states that language
learners acquire the language when the level
is slightly higher compared to the present
level which is called i + 1

Interaction theory
• Long proposes Interaction
Hypothesis in which he
argues that the
negotiation which
includes repetitions,
extensions,
reformulations,
paraphrasing, expansions
and recast (Long, 1996, p.
452) in the conversation
results in the reformation
of the utterance to make
it more comprehensible to
the interlocutor
Language output
• Swain (1985, 1995)
maintains that
language output
also contributes the
process of acquiring
the language and
language output has
five important roles.
Language output
• First, when producing languages, learners increase language
learners’ notice because they recognize the linguistic gap between
what they can express and what they cannot.
• Second, Swain points out the hypothesis-testing function of the
output.
• Third, language learners gain grammatical rules when they try to
solve a linguistic problem because they employ their metalanguage.
• Fourth, language learners develop automaticity when students
produce the same language output more than one time.
• Fifth, language output is to enable learners to transform from
semantic meaning to syntactic use of the language.
