Learner Involvement and Comprehensible Input.
Tsui, Amy B. M.
RELC Journal: A Journal of Language Teaching and Research in Southeast Asia, v22 n2 p44-60 Dec 1991

This paper uses Hong Kong secondary school data to show that only when modification devices involve learner participation do they serve as indicators of comprehensible input.
