Reviews for L2 Learning, Teaching and Assessment: A Comprehensible Input Perspective
Nihat Polat has created a significant update to the concept of comprehensible input. The text provides a systematic, well-organized, wide-ranging, and nuanced overview of the topic. The breadth of information and incorporation of multiple perspectives will guide readers toward a deeper understanding of complex, intertwined teaching and learning processes.
Peter D. MacIntyre, Cape Breton University, Canada 'Input' or more appropriately 'comprehensible input' is now recognized as an indispensable component of state-of-the-art second language instruction. Language teachers are regularly reminded that processing oral and written input is fundamental to building the learner's underlying language capacity. Professor Nihat Polat has produced a remarkable volume explaining and contextualizing the theoretical and practical aspects of using input effectively and meaningfully in the language classroom.
