Select one of the questions below and answer it in 100 words or less then email your response to your instructor. Be sure to identify the question so your instructor knows which one you are answering.

1		Why must input be both meaning-bearing and comprehensible in order for it to be usable for language acquisition? Explain.
2		Lee and VanPatten discuss many ways in which input may be made more comprehensible. Consider the following: An instructor immediately translates words or utterances whenever learners signal that they do not understand. Is this is a good example of making input more comprehensible for language acquisition? Why or why not?
3		If an instructor gives learners explicit rules about a particular grammatical form using the target language, is this input for L2 acquisition? Explain.
