This workshop pursues three objectives. First, participants will experience some activities where the input (Krashen, 1986) and the output (Swain, 1985, 1995) hypothesis are made presented. Second, participants will reflect on the rationale behind the hypotheses to have a sound understanding of their classroom application. Third, participants will design at least two activities where the output hypothesis is present.
