Kiva ejemplo
-- Este documento es muy importante porque tiene todas las precauciones necesarias --les dice el director de la escuela a un grupo de maestros.
El director parece nervioso. Habla con voz muy seria.
--¡Es muy importante estar alerta! No quiero un desastre en mi escuela --les dice con voz firme.
Curioso, Brandon observa al grupo. El director les da un paquete de papeles a los maestros. En la parte del frente del paquete dice: "Liam Bradley - CONFIDENTIAL". A Brandon le parece que es una situación importante... una situación seria. Se pregunta: "¿Liam Bradley? ¿Por qué es necesario estar alerta?"
El director continúa hablando:
--Este paquete tiene información e instrucciones importantes. Guarden el paquete. La información es confidencial.
En ese momento, la secretaria nota que Brandon lo está observando todo. Ella está irritada.
--Brandon --le dice la secretaria con voz firme--. ¿Qué quieres?
--Tengo mi formulario médico --le responde Brandon, un poco alarmado. Brandon le da el formulario a la secretaria.

- Facilitate Target-Language Comprehensibility (Core Practice #1)
- Language acquisition comes from INPUT not OUTPUT
- Compelling input appears to eliminate the need for motivation.
- When you get compelling input, you acquire whether you are interested in improving or not. (Krashen, 2014
