Detailed explanation-1: -Compelling Comprehensible Input refers to both first and second language acquisition. The path to academic language is not, in other words, through deliberate study of the vocabulary, grammar and text structure of academic or specialized texts.
Detailed explanation-2: -Comprehensible input can help students of any proficiency level: from beginner to advances students. For input to be comprehensible it must be in the form of meaningful language which students can understand with the help of embedded context, even though they don’t fully understand the meaning of each word.
Detailed explanation-3: -Forget about immersion, focus on getting comprehensible input instead. By far, it’s a more effective way to learn another language. The best advice to learners might be to experiment with lots of different podcasts, blogs, books, and YouTube channels.
Detailed explanation-4: -Listening input provides learners with the different types of knowledge required for language learning: phonology, grammar, vocabulary, language use (Rost, 2005). Reading is another major source of input.
