This principle requires learners to communicate ideas and meaning, and meta-communicate about the language as well as about the problems and solutions when learning the language (Breen, 1985). In this regard, providing opportunities for students to examine the task from different perspectives collaboratively, such as

will create the necessary conditions for learners to construct procedural knowledge in contrast to inert knowledge (Raimes, 1991).
