Detailed explanation-1: -Input is an essential source of language learning and development. Without sufficient input, learners’ language development will not progress smoothly. They will not have the knowledge they they need to express their thoughts clearly, accurately and fluently in authentic situations.
Detailed explanation-2: -Krashen is most widely known for his “comprehensible input” hypothesis, which suggests that learners acquire language by taking in and understanding language that is “just beyond” their current level of competence.
Detailed explanation-3: -These learning methods are input-based. “Input” can be defined as all of the things you listen to, watch or read in your target language. However, it’s not uncommon for learners to feel that their passive skills (reading and listening comprehension) far outstrip their active skills (speaking and writing).
Detailed explanation-4: -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.
