• C. Telling a story with gestures and visuals slightly above the learner’s level
• D. Asking the learner to recite verb conjugations

Answer 1

Answer:

C. Telling a story with gestures and visuals slightly above the learner’s level

Comprehensible input involves language that is understandable but includes new structures (i+1). Contextual clues, like gestures or visuals, help the learner grasp the meaning of slightly challenging language.
