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
Studies on comprehensible input generally emphasize how input is made comprehensible to the nonnative speaker by examining native speaker speech or teacher talk in the classroom. 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.
