Auto-input and Output Processing
Introduction to auto-input (output processing).
Duration: 00:24
Typically, learners are exposed to language data from different sources (i.e., language input), and they also produce their own language data (i.e., language output). However, when students analyze their own production, they are effectively using their own language output as input data. This is a useful procedure to help students understand the limitations of their own knowledge and to identify more precisely their learning goals. In the following video segment, the instructor describes the features of the type of processing that underlies the notion of auto-input (as part of output processing).
A discussion on auto-input (output processing).

Application: Dictogloss
Watch the video segment and play the role of the student who is engaged in reconstructing a text in a dictogloss activity. Is it difficult to accomplish the goal of the activity? Are the instructions clear enough for students to understand what they have to do?
The instructor leads the class in a dictogloss activity.

Analysis of Dictogloss Benefits
Finally, review the outcome of the dictogloss. The instructor makes specific reference to one particular grammatical structure being used in the reconstructed text.
In your own words, can you describe what type of pedagogical opportunity the dictogloss may bring about?
The outcome of the dictogloss activity is discussed.
