Primordial Soup Hypothesis is a hypothesis created by Alexander Oparin in the year of 1942. It claims that life started when a group of chemicals mixed together to form a pond‚ making amino acids‚ which then lead to proteins‚ and later the first forms of life.

Different to the Primordial Soup Hypothesis‚ the Iron-Sulfur World Hypothesis states that

QUESTION 1 Most of the research on input has developed from Stephen Krashen’s Input Hypothesis. According to the Hypothesis‚ for L2 acquisition to take place‚ the learner must be exposed to comprehensible input. In other words‚ Krashen answers the question about what mechanisms exist to allow learners to acquire a second language. He reaches a conclusion‚ stating that learners can achieve acquisition “by understanding messages‚ or by receiving comprehensible input.” Furthermore‚ the input must contain
