Summary/Abstract: Interactive discourse, a natural source of meaningful language input, plays an important role in the process of developing learners’ communicative competence. Negative and/ or corrective feedback which they get from their interlocutors allows them not only to notice gaps in their linguistic/ cultural knowledge but also to take steps to modify their production so as to make it more adequate. The research shows that a focus on negative/ corrective feedback results in significant learning as the successful modification stimulates the development of learners’ interlanguage which thus becomes a more satisfactory means of communication. The purpose of this article is to present and analyze factors stimulating the process of changing the data from meaningful input, modified on the basis of negative/ corrective feedback into learners’ linguistic knowledge manifesting itself in their more fortunate and more adequate language output.
