Core: Set of five hypotheses

Hypothesis 1: Opportunities must be provided for students to practice using language in a range of contexts likely to be encountered in the target culture.

Page 3: Alice Omaggio-Hadley Teaching Language in Context First edition 1986 Third edition 2001 Handbook of the “proficiency movement”

Corollary 1: Students should be encouraged to express their own meaning as early as possible after productive skills have been introduced in the course of instruction

Corollary 2: Opportunities must be provided for active communicative interaction among students.

Hypothesis 3: The development of accuracy should be encouraged in proficiency-oriented instruction. As learners produce language, various forms of instruction and evaluative feedback can be useful in facilitating the progression of their skills toward more precise and coherent language use.

Hypothesis 4: Instruction should be responsive to the affective as well as the cognitive needs of students, and their different personalities, preferences, and learning styles should be taken into account.
