Input and Output Balance to Assist in Language Competence

Second Language Acquisition(SLA) education in China suffers from an imbalance between language input and output.Reading and listening are the dominate methods used in the classroom,while speaking and writing are used far less.This paper examines the results that are caused by this imbalanced development of comprehensible output and input.Alternative solutions are examined.The results show the limitations in students' abilities that are commonly based on the current methods of teaching.The implications are that policy makers,curriculum developers and teachers should strive to balance the amount of comprehensible input and output through various means.

Input and Output in Second Language Acquisition

Input and output are two major terminal actions in second language acquisition.For these two actions scholars have carried out a great number of researches.Among them the most famous are Krashen’s Input Hypothesis and Output Hypothesis.

Fundamental Theories of Second Language Acquisition: The Input Hypothesis, the Output hypothesis, and the Interaction Hypothesis

In the field of applied linguistics,several hypotheses have been proposed for second language acquisition:the Input Hypothesis,the Output hypothesis,and the Interaction Hypothesis.They address the fundamental components of successful second language acquisition respectively.This paper introduces these hypotheses and constructs a comprehensive picture based on them。

The Role of Input, Interaction and Output in Second Language Learning

This article mainly talks about the role of input,interaction,and output in the second language acquisition.Input is believed as a trigger for learners’language learning.And the process from input to output is interaction.Through interaction,language learners can negotiate the meaning with the interlocutor and narrow down the gap between the target language and their own.All the hard work made in interaction is to produce output,which includes three functions:noticing function,hypothesistesting function,and metalinguistic function.Some teaching examples are shown to testify the hypothesis and its function in the process of second language acquisition.

The Theoretical Analysis of Communicative Language Teaching From the Perspective of Input, Output and Interaction

The study is to explore the underlying concepts that Communicative Language Teaching is based on. It mainly considers the developments in research focusing on the notions of input, output and interaction that have influenced this approach.

From Input to Output: Chinese College Students' English Language Learning Situation

English as a second language has been learned and taught in Chinese colleges for several decades. But seen from students' TEM-4 and TEM-6 results and their practical application, the effect is limited and unsatisfied. Input and output theories are applied to analyze this situation and how to use them to improve the present Chinese students' English language learning situation.

The Effect of Input and Output on Second Language Vocabulary Acquisition and Implications for Vocabulary Teaching

Vocabulary is the basis of language learning. The study of vocabulary is an important part of second language acquisition research field. This article mainly reviews external factors that influence the second language vocabulary acquisition research at home in recent years. It emphatically summarizes the effect of input and output on vocabulary acquisition, vocabulary teaching,that will provide some suggestions for the future vocabulary acquisition.

The Effects of Noticing Function of Output on Second Language Acquisition

Swain's(1985) "Output Hypothesis"maintains that output performsthree functions,namely,the"noticing/triggering function",the"hypothesis-testing"function,and the " metalinguistic" function.Based on the " Noticing Hypothesis",this study aims to investigate the role of the noticing function of output in second language acquisition.The major findings of this research are summarized as follows:1) when composing,the learner could notice linguistic problems in their ineterlanguaeamong which problems arising from vocabulary and sentence were the most prominent.2) with more attention paid to vocabulary,the learner could notice linguistic forms of various aspects when comparing their original text to the modelsof writing.And they could partially incorporate what they hadnoticed in models into their subsequent revision.3) through models of writing learning,the EG learners performed better than the CG learnersin error correction in Composition2,which proves that output with subsequent input learning has superiority over output without relevant input followed in facilitatingthe acquisition of accuracy of linguistic forms.

The Role of Output in Second Language Acquisition

Output is a major terminal action in second language acquisition.For this action scholars have carried out a great number of researches.Among them one of the most famous is Output Hypothesis.This paper mainly reviews Output Hypothesis and then examines its positive role in the process of second language acquisition(SLA).

Krashen's Input Hypothesis and Its Pedagogical Implications on Second Language Teaching

Krashen has developed the Input Hypothesis, which has deep influence on teaching method of second language. This thesis focuses on the Krashen's Input Hypothesis, which includes the following five hypotheses: the acquisition- learning hypothesis, the monitor hypothesis, the natural order hypothesis, the input hypothesis and the effective filter hypothesis. The thesis tries to explore the pedagogical implications of Krashen's Input Hypothesis on second language teaching in the aspects of the input quantity and input quality. The thesis tries to explore the most effective methods of second language teaching, in the hope that it will help to improve the efficiency of second language teaching.

Importance of Input and Interaction in Second Language Acquisition

Nowadays,SLA(Second Language Acquisition) is a hot topic and is attached great importance at both home and abroad.Input and interaction are taken as two very important factors have great impact on the learners' L2 acquisition level and quality.The former research on the above two factors is productive and a lot of research on the importance of input and interaction in SLA is being conducted.Krashen's Input Hypoth-esis and Long's Interaction Hypothesis are the two most influ-ential ones.This thesis first giv...

On Teacher's Language Input

Appropriate input is the key point in language acquisition,and teacher’s language input is an indispensable and basic factor which decides success or failure of teaching.

On the Pronunciation of ELT Teachers in China as a Source for Language Contact and Language Input

在外语教学中,教师发挥着越来越重要的作用。因此,对外语教师的要求也随之提高。这一点已经得到了证实。作为语言沟通和语言输入的来源,外语教师的标准发音给教学带来了很大作用。因此,应当对外语教师进行培训,然后挑选合格者任职。这样,才能教会学生标准的语音语调,促进语言的正确运用。

Is Input Sufficient in Second Language Acquisition?

Through a review of the literature,it appears that input is key factor in Second Language Acquisition(SLA).However,a great number of evidence indicates that input alone is not sufficient for SLA.Output and interaction are both have a great influence on L2 acquisition.Therefore,input,output and interaction should be linked together in order that second language learners can maximize their potential to acquire the target language.

College English Teaching Language Information Output Ways Exploration in the Internet age

Language information output plays an important role in students＇ language acquisition process and is an important way to improve students＇ comprehensive language using ability and language level. Because college students＇ English foundation is weak in our country at present stage, there are many problems in the process of language information output. In this case, we can increase the application of Intemet technology as a way to expand language output in English language teaching. This article is to explore college English teaching language information output ways in the Internent age.

An Analysis of the Relationship between Output Corpus and Language Output Function

The study is to verify the relationship between the output corpus and language output function and to test the three func-tions of pushed output. It attempts to give some implications for non-English major and English-learning. The results show that theoutput corpus is related to language output function.

A Study on the Importance of Language Input in Second Language Acquisition(SLA)

Input theory as a theoretical foundation in language teaching plays an important role in SLA.Though a wealth of re⁃search has been done by linguists to demonstrate the importance of language input in SLA,little has been written about the type and amount of language input for successful SLA,especially its processing model while acquiring a second language.This paper first discusses the Krashen’s input hypothesis in language learning,and then an introduction to Chaudron’s processing model of in⁃put is made.In the final part,the author explains the acquisition process based on word acquisition and grammar acquisition and concludes that in the process of acquiring a second language,the language learners reconstruct a new cognitive model by taking in consistent comprehensible language input.

A Study on Using Noticing Hypothesis to Improve Learners’ Language Input in Language Learning

In 1967,more than fifty years ago,Corder introduced the concept of“input”in the second language acquisition(SLA)research field.In 1985,Krashen introduced the concept of“comprehensible input hypothesis.”In 1990,Schmidt introduced the concept of“noticing hypothesis”[1].Today,“input”is becoming more and more popular in the research on second language acquisition.This paper tries to connect theories about input and noticing hypothesis in hope that the clear definition can be helpful to guide language teaching accordingly.
