Hypothesis #2
Opportunities should be provided for students to practice carrying out a range of functions (tasks) likely to be necessary in dealing with others in the target culture.

I agreed with this hypothesis, the main idea is giving students the opportunities to learn, and students learn when they are in thought evoking emotional situations. Many of the ways we could use this hypothesis are project or activity based learning, hands on learning, and immersion.

The information below was part of a website 200words-a-day.com

“Learning the language in its natural environment one of the benefits of such a strategy is that one sees and feels the language in its natural environment, and the learner sees, hears, feels and 'lives the language', seeing expressions, words and phrases in context, complete with the physical movements, facial expressions, hand motions and tone of voice. In this situation, the third ear starts to come into play at a subconscious level. This is the mind's innate ability to learn the patterns and structure of a language when one is surrounded by it”.
