Description
Carol Griffiths presents a unique argument for language input and intake in this book, which considers the long-debated definition of language intake and its determining factors. By examining how 'input', 'interaction', 'identity', and 'investment' contribute to intake through complex intercommunication, Griffiths defines each contributing factor and demonstrates the principles of language intake.
The author's approach is based on interviews with successful language learners, which aim to encourage teachers to consider these factors when maximising intake that allows for comprehension of the target language. Griffiths proposes a practicable framework, known as the "Intake Hypothesis", to support teachers in providing rich and extensive input.
This book provides a valuable resource for advanced students and researchers in language acquisition and teaching, offering practical advice on how to create an environment that encourages learners to invest time and effort into their language learning journey.
