This study examined the acquisition of a linguistic property that is underrepresented in the input available to second language L2 learners namely interpretation of. Input variability is key in many aspects of linguistic learning yet variability increases input complexity which may cause difficulty in some learning contexts. In summary Krashens theory of SLA claims that consistent access to input facilitates second language acquisition when it is understood by the learner who has a low affective filter having been perhaps modified in some way by the interlocutor which is at a level at or just above that of the acquirer and that is rich in variety all alluded to in Krashen 1985.

The Role of Input and Interaction in Second Language Acquisition Introduction to the Special Issue SUSAN M. Output–an automatic output to be exact–is one pedagogical goal in learning L2. Accordingly the role of input is discussed the perspective of different theories of language learning.
In addition to input it is also accepted that interaction plays a crucial role in the process of learning L2.
In many approaches to SLA input is considered as being a highly essential factor while in other approaches. 22 A Model of Second Language Acquisition and Use As Long 1990 pointed out any theory of SLA must acknowledge the role of comprehensible input in the development of the learners internal grammar.
