Focusing on the impact of input quality in second language acquisition (SLA), this essay explores how modified input and negotiated interaction influence learners' comprehension abilities. It reviews key theories, including Krashen's Input Hypothesis and Long's Interaction Hypothesis, and suggests that Foreigner Discourse modifications can enhance SLA. The paper also examines various studies on the relationship between modified and unmodified input, notably those by Long and Gass & Varonis, while acknowledging the limited scope of the literature reviewed.
