Detailed explanation-1: -The input hypothesis states that the best way for learners to gather comprehensible input is through a sort of trial-and-error process of communication. The learner seeks out conversation partners, who modify their speech until it becomes comprehensible to the learner.
Detailed explanation-2: -Practical Examples: Teacher shows a video (interview with a famous celebrity) to “intermediate” level students. It is comprehensible input because the student will understand it as a natural conversation between two people and they will acquire new vocabulary and useful expressions.
Detailed explanation-3: -Input processing refers to the fact that language learners are exposed to input which contains linguistic forms. When L2 learners process input, they have limited resources to ensure that they make correct form-meaning connections.
