Learner Language: Tools for Teachers | The New School

Learner language is the constantly changing ability students have to communicate as they learn a new language. It provides an index of students progress, allowing teachers to determine how to best educate them. By analyzing examples of learner language, students develop skills to address it when they are teaching.

The conception of English varies in a lot of regions in the world. So, what's important is "Intelligibility" I so agree with that.

The students are stuck bc you don't teach them vocabulary and grammar they need to be able to cope with the task. duh. You don't need fancy theories to figure this out.
