Hypothesis 1 means that the language learner must experience culturally appropriate activities to gain insight into the language, to learn when it's appropriate to use the language. If the student (language learner) is learning Ojibwe Ex. Powwows and Ceremonies would be great for hearing and using language in a culturally appropriate setting.
Hypothesis 2 means the student being expected to carry out tasks from the target culture, this will not only back up the lessons learned in their target language, it will reinforce what the pupil has already learned making it more interesting and actually start to sink in with stories and work that backs it up.
Hypothesis 3 encourages proficiency and the instructor will develope his or her own guidelines that work for the language learner to become fluent and develope the language so it is unblemished and coherent.
Hypothesis 4 means the language instruction should not only stimulate the students' minds it should suit their personalities and learning styles in a way that promotes successful learning and allows the students to retain and utilize what they have learned.
Hypothesis 5 teaches the language learners to be aware of other cultures and have respect for them and in turn this teaches pupils to have respect for their target culture and language as well. Being aware also show students the uniqueness of their target culture.
All of these 5 guidelines work best when adjusted to meet the needs of an individual students learning style and are in place to stimulate the student enough to be interested and consistent enough to be retained.
