Optimal Grammar Instruction in Second Language Classrooms: Theoretical and Practical Perspectives of Form-Focused Instruction
Year: 2019
Type: article
Abstract: The purpose of this article is illuminating the theoretical and pedagogical perspectives on grammar instruction in the field of second language acquisition (SLA) research and educational settings.In many educational contexts, although communicative activities have been strenuously implemented into language lessons, grammar instruction has not been appropriately integrated in the lessons.In this article, theoretical perspectives on grammar instruction will be explained and a systematic framework of grammar instruction, "form-focused instruction (FFI)", will be demonstrated.Then an instructed model integrating FFI and communicative contexts proposed by Lyster (2007Lyster ( , 2017) ) will be illustrated.Finally, empirical findings regarding FFI will be reviewed.
