The output hypothesis states that language learners improve their language skills by focusing on the production of meaningful and comprehensible output. According to this hypothesis, learners develop their language proficiency by actively using the language, such as by speaking or writing, and receiving feedback on their output. This hypothesis emphasizes the importance of learners' efforts to produce language and encourages learners to take risks and make mistakes in order to learn from them. Furthermore, the hypothesis suggests that the learners' language production should be slightly beyond their current level of proficiency in order to challenge them and promote language development. Overall, the output hypothesis posits that actively using the language and receiving relevant feedback are essential for language learners to improve their language skills and become more proficient speakers or writers.
