Noticing hypothesis

Noticing hypothesis

The noticing hypothesis was proposed by Richard Schmidt in 1990. He stated that features of language cannot be learned unless they have been noticed[1]. Noticing alone does not mean it is automatically acquired, but it is the essential starting point. Still debated is the question whether a learner must consciously notice something.[2] This hypothesis is part of cognitivist perspective of second language acquisition.
