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		Are all input or comprehension-based activities structured input activities? Explain.
2		Research on Processing Instruction demonstrates that learners can learn grammatical information in the absence of explicit information. Structured input activities alone appear to be sufficient to have an impact on test results. What about traditional instruction that involves mechanical, meaningful, and communicative drills? Do you think learners would be able to learn grammatical information from doing these drills alone without any explicit information? Explain.
3		Why is it crucial to “keep the learner’s processing strategies in mind” when we design structured input activities? Explain.
