Detailed explanation-1: -“i+1” (Input Hypothesis) was originally a theory of learning developed by the linguist Stephen Krashen in the 1970s. It basically says that learning is most effective when you meet the learners’ current level and add one level of difficulty, like the next rung on a ladder.
Detailed explanation-2: -Comprehensible input is a linguistic theory first proposed by Stephen Krashen. Essentially, the comprehensible input theory states that second language learners need to be exposed to linguistic input that is just slightly above their current language level so that they can understand the new input.
Detailed explanation-3: -Krashen says that people acquire language through comprehensible input in a low anxiety environment. Comprehensible input means exposure to compelling reading and listening texts that are above a learner’s current language ability.
