On The Input-intake-output Continuum: Towards A Comprehensive Theoretical Model Of L2 Comprehension And Acquisition
Authors : Boulkroun Fouad .
Abstract
While much progress has been made in understanding the roles of input, intake, and output in second and foreign language acquisition, many questions remain regarding their precise interconnectedness. Moreover, few researchers have considered how these constructs intersect with other key concepts like noticing, cognitive processes, and metacognitive strategies. It is argued all throughout that while different theories offer valuable insights, a more comprehensive approach that integrates the diverse perspectives is necessary to fully understand how learners acquire new languages. The present theoretical research delves into the intricate dynamics of acquisition and aims to address these gaps by positing a continuum view of input, intake, and output. Bloom’s cognitive taxonomy is used as an implementational framework. By reconciling the diverse perspectives, the paper eventually proposes a comprehensive theoretical model of language comprehension and acquisition, while highlighting the cyclical nature of the continuum through feedback loops. Implications and recommendations are thereby discussed.
