Definiția și Sensul lui "negotiated input"

What is "negotiated input"?

Negotiated input refers to the process of adjusting language during communication to make it more understandable for a learner. This typically occurs between a more proficient speaker, such as a teacher or native speaker, and a learner with developing language skills. The proficient speaker may simplify their language, repeat phrases, or clarify meanings when the learner struggles to understand. This adaptive communication helps learners acquire vocabulary, grammar, and pronunciation by providing comprehensible input tailored to their level. Negotiated input fosters a supportive environment that encourages active engagement and interaction in language learning.
