  13. Four components for successful language learning • Imput(material) is meaningful and comprehensible • Attention to the form and meaning of that input • They must be able to speak • They must receive feedback for improvement

  14. How do we teach this? • Integration of traditional methods into the communicative class • Focus on grammar which is very close to that of the native language that the students do not notice it in communicative imput and do not rely on it to understand it.
