Input and Output in the Language Classroom

#63In this episode we look at input and output. These two simple words can appear simple, but there is a lot to explore when it comes to what they actually look like in the classroom. This is the fourth of 5 episodes dedicated to the book Common Ground: Second Language Acquisition Theory Goes to the Classroom by Florencia Henshaw and Maris Hawkins. In two weeks you will hear the final episode of the series that will be a conversation with the authors.  For now, we’ll spend some time with input and output guided by Henshaw and Hawkins in Common Ground..so, let’s jump in.Topics in the episode:Recap of Guiding Principles: Acquisition and CommunicationThe Role of InputWhat effective is and is notComprehensible Input and Krashen's Monitor ModelAuthentic ResourcesThe Role of OutputSwain's Output HypothesisInput or Output?  What builds the linguistic system?Making the discussion interactive on Twitter with Joshua (@wlcalssoom), Florencia Henshaw (@Prof_F_Henshaw) and Maris Hawkins (@Marishawkins).Other Podcast episodes referenced in this episode:Episode 32: The Origins of CI: Krashen's Input HypothesisGet your own copy of Common Ground.  Hackett Publishing is generously offering a 25% discount when you use the code WLC2022.
