* Susan M.辛辛那提大学的培根认为,第二语言的关键输入要比第二语言难;第二,那些(第二语言)理解和习得者。Ks-ashen(1981; 1978)在文章之间调整了他们的策略,推广了表现出更高水平的理解和“可理解输入”的概念,即质量和多样性学习。研究结果对两种输入方式都有启示作用,已被广泛研究.除了使用真实的听力材料来传达信息外,输入还提供语言证据,以及对听力策略的研究。学习者用来获得新语言的东西(沙伍德史密斯)。近年来,L2教学法的研究者们开始关注输入中的另一个问题,即学习者需要接受输入。倾听的行为涉及互动和真实的语言(培根,1989;输入、任务和个人变量的作用。一九八七年;布林;邓克尔;隆德;莫里森;环; Ks-ashen(1989)认为,听者和读者(Rogers&Medley; Weissenreider)。2这种从可理解的输入中“习得”语言,输入为学习者提供了使正式教学变得不必要的语言信息和可能无效甚至适得其反的文化信息。为了支持他的假设,即学习者谁是偶然的重点,真正的语言允许自由阅读的时间,例如,语言,人们发现关注调查quickly abuhari更有效地和更深入的学习者策略,在理解和cornmeaning比正式教学。一些在L2中的交流(亚历山大和朱迪;培根证据也存在,表明儿童和Finnemann,“一项研究”,1990年; Chamot和通过听Kupper,1989年; Chamot,O 'Mahley,Kuppes和听觉文本获得新的词汇。Peterson和Benson Impink-Hernandez在L2中的研究; Ehrman & Oxford,1990;都强调了内容领域Fujita的重要性; O 'Malhcy & Chamot,1990; Oxford & instruction作为教授听力的媒介Crookall; Oxford,Crookall,Cohen,Lavine,& skills。Nyikos; Oxford,Lavine & Crookall)。问题学习者通常暴露于本文所讨论的某种形式的信息中,考虑的是他是如何被修改的,而不是真实的输入。一些来自真实听力研究的专家已经研究了教师和其他人如何输入:第一,针对学习者的第二语言替代输入之间的关系:在一项关于学习通道难度和学生策略性学习策略/非母语者(NS/NNS)策略的研究中?第二,在存在交际困难和学习困难的情况下,学生的言语交际水平如何影响其言语交际水平,Des-wing发现,学生的言语交际难度增加、策略变异和个体差异与学生的言语交际水平存在相关性。为了回答这些问题。此外,在对教师输入问题的回顾中,该研究检查了策略studies,Chaudron发现大量证据表明,当他们知道他们的听众是NNS时,与他们的压缩机水平相关的凹痕报告故意减慢他们的语音hension和学习新信息的速度。收听两个西班牙语广播节目。它的绝对速率的讲话指向的是假设,首先,所有的听众将纳斯显示到100个字/分钟。无论是否采用了显着更大的比例,但这些类型的修改有关系的自上而下的战略对assagejudged理解和heaming是不太清楚:
