1.4 Scope of Study
This study has covered input exposed through modified questions. It does not intend to examine a certain kind of modification but it includes all categories,
linguistic and interactional modifications. Their treatment is situational. This means that which kind of modification used depends on the need of the situation.
In other word, the two may happen interchangeably during the teaching-learning process.

things from certain aspects such as color, age, material, quality, origin, nature, characteristics, shape, function, activity, events, profession, classification or their
combinations. The last, the subjects are taken from a government vocational school in
