Abstract

This paper examines the Noticing Hypothesis proposed by Richard Schmidt in second language acquisition. The hypothesis is widely known for its elaboration on how language acquisition occurs through assistance of a number of factors, among which noticing is seen to be crucial since without it, further stages in language acquisition do not happen. It is explained that noticing is a very supportive element for the creation of intake which is an inevitable stage in the process of language acquisition. However, major research on the hypothesis lies around the works of Richard Schmidt who proposes this theory. Hence, there should be a review of further research on how noticing works in the process of second language acquisition. In this paper, the view of noticing is in-depth explored based on highly recognised research in the field with the hope to obtain a more comprehensive understanding of this assistant for better acquisition of the target language.
