Description
In the process of acquiring a second language many suitable methods are being adopted by both learners and teachers in the classroom. It is normally acknowledged that classroom interaction is said to be fruitful for language learning. Effective cognitive developments take place among the learners in the process of interaction in the classroom. Long’s (1991) psycholinguistic perspective has been used to access the effectiveness of the acquisition of language through interaction. The significant part of this theoretical structure is how the learners learn through negotiation of meaning. There are different aspects that deal with in the negotiation of meaning. But the discussion has been focused on only two; repetition and recast. The data have been collected through thorough examination and student’s interrogation. They were collected on the basis of the role played by recast and repetition in the process of facilitating the language learner.
