In Krashen’s terms, optimal input has to be comprehensible to the learner if we want acquisition to take place.
An overview of the literature on input indicates two ways of making input comprehensible: the first one is to
premodify input before it is offered to the learner, (premodified input), and the second one is to negotiate the
input through interaction (interactionally modified input).
The aim of the present paper is twofold: on the one hand, we shall discuss the two types of input mentioned
above; on the other hand, the major findings that both premodified input and interactionally modified input
have on second language acquisition will be reported.
Further research is suggested to establish the direct or indirect relationship between comprehensible input
and the acquisition of an L2. [-]
