ANALYSIS:
The present study was conducted to investigate the impact of input quality on second language grammar knowledge of young
children. Young children who were exposed to instructional input outperformed the ones being exposed to natural input. It shows the
indispensability of L2 instructional input for successful language development of L2 grammar. It follows the assumption that a better
understanding of the nature of instruction on SLA may lead to improvements in second language teaching practices. Thus, Evidence from
this research rejects the idea of Krashen’s acquisition/ learning hypothesis that children who are exposed to natural input (acquisition) are
better second language acquirers than the ones being exposed to instructional input (learning), and it points out that instructional input can
even help EFL children to be better second language learners in case of the second language grammar.

ANALYSIS:
The research study titled "Input Processing in Second Language Acquisition: A Discussion of Four Input Processing Models" by Yayun
Anny Sun is an academic analysis of four input processing models used to facilitate language learning. The study provides a clear and logical
structure, with a detailed examination of each model's theoretical foundations, key features, and empirical evidence supporting their effectiveness.
The author draws on a range of academic sources to support her arguments and offers a critical evaluation of each model's strengths and weaknesses.
The study is written in accessible language, making it a valuable resource for researchers, language teachers, and students seeking insights into input
processing in second language acquisition.
