Communication strategies should also be employed by the learner to make use of existing knowledge to cope with communication difficulties.

Comprehensible input refers to language input that is slightly above a learner's current proficiency level, making it understandable while still challenging, facilitating language acquisition. In contrast, comprehensible output involves the learner's production of language, such as speaking or writing, which forces them to organize their thoughts and use the language actively. While input focuses on receiving and processing language, output emphasizes the learner's ability to express and apply what they have learned. Both are essential for effective language learning, as input provides the necessary exposure and output reinforces language use.
The L1 will help the learner acquire the L2 language, but the key here is that the learner has to be literate in the L1 before it can be used as a foundation for the L2. If the learner is not literate the teacher can not use the L1 and has to start from the basics for the L2.

Interlanguage is a transitional system that learners use while acquiring a new language. It contains elements of both the native and target language, often resulting in errors or deviations from the target language norms. Interlanguage is dynamic and evolves as learners gain proficiency in the target language.
