Every language course I’ve taken has involved has some active production of language. Day 1 of my Japanese class in HS was introducing ourselves to one another. Language exams also require proof of correct and accurate production of language.

Do you have any citations for the idea that it’s better not to practice actually using the language while trying to learn it?

		The Input Hypothesis is controversial and has little evidence backing it up. Krashen is a bit like a fitness bro of the language learning world.
