S2 Episode 6 - CI: Necessary But Not Sufficient?




Talkin L2 with BVP show

Summary: Ever since the contemporary field of L2 research was launched (1970s), the role of communicatively-embedded, comprehensible input has remained a central construct. All major theories posit it as fundamental to L2 acquisition. However, some voices have claimed that although input is necessary, it's not sufficient. What does this claim mean? Why isn't input sufficient and what are these voices suggesting is also needed?   Tune in to hear our hosts BVP, Angelika, Walter and all of our amazing callers while they discuss this week’s topic as well as whatever else comes up!
