- Comprehensible Input: Comprehensible input is language input that the learner can mostly understand, with the new material being just challenging enough to push acquisition.
- Immersion: Immersion is sustained exposure to the target language across varied contexts (reading, listening, speaking, writing) rather than isolated textbook study.
- Metalearning for Languages: Metalearning for languages is mapping the structure of a target language (phonology, grammar families, vocabulary layers) before attempting to learn it, so the learner knows what to expect.
- Shadowing: Shadowing is the practice of listening to a target-language audio and simultaneously repeating it aloud a fraction of a second behind the speaker.
