- Abstract
Among the many theories of second language acquisition, Krashen’s “input hypothesis” is far-reaching and controversial. Krashen’s input hypothesis has laid a foundation for the study of second language acquisition and played a positive role in guiding foreign language teaching. However, there have been some objections to this hypothesis, including concept definition, theoretical basis and language output. Therefore, the author believes that it is necessary to summarize the current research results of the scholars. This paper introduces the content of the “input hypothesis” and its famous i + 1 theory then reviews the empirical research of some experts and scholars, points out its limitations, and a large number of research reports of experts and scholars were retrieved, and the literature was classified and reviewed to clarify the development of the hypothesis in the field of second language acquisition and the future research direction, and provide reference and inspiration for the specific application of the hypothesis in the field of second language teaching.
