 INTERACTION

In SLA…
Yee et al (2015) claim that “At its core, the Interaction
Hypothesis still proposes that SLA is facilitated by
understandable input and informational exchanges,
through interpersonal interactions between speakers.
Interactions are, of course, still ascribed a major role
the SLA process— besides being a significant source of
language data, it is also through the active participation
in interactions, that much of the learning occurs.

From Cambridge Dictionary Online…
 An integrated Approach

River (1981), in Deneme (2010), explains that

“When various skills are integrated into
free-flowing activities, in which one provides
material for the other, students learn to operate
confidently within the language, easily transferring
knowledge acquired in one area for active use in
another.”
