    The Output Hypothesis is about how producing language,either spoken or written, serve learning process. The writer gives four examples.
    First, language production provides the opportunity for meaningful practice of one's linguistic resources permitting the development of automaticity in their use. It's more about fluency than accuracy which is gained by using the language as frequently as possible.
    Second, producing language force the learner to move from semantic processing to syntactic processing.
    Third, producing language may serve the language learning process is through hypothesis testing. Output provides the opportunity to the test out hypothesis-to try means of expression and see if they work.
    These ways have implications for second language pedagogy. It gives considerable in-class opportunities for speaking and writing because learners need to be pushed to make used of their resources, enhance comprehensibility, appropriateness and accuracy.
