'Input' or more appropriately 'comprehensible input' is now recognized as an indispensable component of state-of-the-art second language instruction. Language teachers are regularly reminded that processing oral and written input is fundamental to building the learner's underlying language capacity. Professor Nihat Polat has produced a remarkable volume explaining and contextualizing the theoretical and practical aspects of using input effectively and meaningfully in the language classroom. -- Elaine K. Horwitz, The University of Texas at Austin, USA Nihat Polat has created a significant update to the concept of comprehensible input. The text provides a systematic, well-organized, wide-ranging, and nuanced overview of the topic. The breadth of information and incorporation of multiple perspectives will guide readers toward a deeper understanding of complex, intertwined teaching and learning processes. -- Peter D.
