    Interaction Hypothesis

    The Interaction Hypothesis proposes that interacting directly with others is one of the most effective ways to learn a new language. There are two forms: the strong form argues that interaction itself contributes to language development, while the weak form is that interaction provides learning opportunities but not necessarily language development. The hypothesis integrates the input and output hypotheses by stating that interaction allows learners to both receive comprehensible input through listening and reading and have opportunities to produce output through speaking to retain what they have learned.

    Interaction hypothesis

    Interaction hypothesis
    The Interaction Hypothesis is a type of theory proposing that one of most effective methods of learning a new language is through personal and direct interaction. This theory is applied specifically to the acquisition of a foreign or a second language. There are two forms of the Interaction Hypothesis: the "strong" form and the "weak" form. The "strong" form is the position that the interaction itself contributes to language development. The "weak" form is the position that interaction is simply the way that learners find learning opportunities, whether or not they make productive use of them.

    Interaction hypothesis
    Through the Interaction Hypothesis, Professor Long integrated and reconciled two hypotheses on second language acquisition (SLA): the input and the output hypotheses. The Input Hypothesis states that a language learner only needs to be supplied with input through the forms of reading, listening to conversations, and lessons on grammar and vocabulary. The Output Hypothesis, on the other hand, stresses the importance of practicing and speaking to retain and remember the language. The Interaction Hypothesis combines both the input and output by stating that interaction is not only a means for a learner to study the language, but also a way for the learner to practice what he has learned.
