What describes input that is deliberately altered to emphasize linguistic forms?

• A. Enhanced input
• B. Generalisation
• C. Function words
• D. Grammatical morphemes

Answer: (A)

Enhanced input is input deliberately altered to draw attention to linguistic forms while keeping meaning understandable. By slowing the pace, repeating structures, simplifying or reordering nothing essential to meaning, and explicitly signaling target forms (for example, calling out the past tense or a plural ending as it appears), learners notice the grammar features more clearly. This makes it the best fit because the question describes altering input to emphasize forms, not just discussing rules or the items themselves. The other terms refer to either broader learning processes or to categories of language items (like function words or grammatical morphemes) rather than how the input is presented to highlight form.
