Extract

The present paper touches slightly on theoretical issues concerned with the notion of linguistic redundancy but has primarily a very practical scope, i.e. the facilitation of the foreign language learning process. Specifically, this paper suggests the utilization of redundancy features in aiding learners to develop their recognition knowledge in the new language. As such, the paper is concerned with course objectives and the learner's linguistic needs.
