Detailed explanation-1: -The input refers to the processible language the learners are exposed to while listening or reading (i.e. The receptive skills). The output, on the other hand, is the language they produce, either in speaking or writing (i.e. The productive skills).
Detailed explanation-2: -The input hypothesis. This states that learners progress in their knowledge of the language when they comprehend language input that is slightly more advanced than their current level. Krashen called this level of input “i+1", where “i” is the learner’s interlanguage and “+1” is the next stage of language acquisition.
Detailed explanation-3: -The comprehensible output (CO) hypothesis states that we acquire language when we attempt to transmit a message but fail and have to try again. Eventually, we arrive at the correct form of our utterance, our conversational partner finally understands, and we acquire the new form we have produced.
Detailed explanation-4: -Comprehensible input is simply an instructional shift when teachers provide input where students understand most, but not all, of the language.
