Focus on Form in Classroom Second Language Acquisition Summary

Focus on Form in Classroom Second Language Acquisition by Catherine Doughty (Georgetown University, Washington DC)

This volume examines theoretical foundations, empirical research, and pedagogical implementations of focus on form. Traditional language teaching can result in limited fluency, whereas communicative approaches tend to produce fluency with less accuracy. This book presents a potential solution to this dilemma. The paperback edition respects students' "internal linguistic syllabus" by drawing their attention to problematic linguistic features during communicative activities, thus providing an alternative to methodologies that treat accuracy and fluency separately. This volume examines theoretical foundations, empirical research, and a range of possible pedagogical implementations.

1 Introduction; I THEORETICAL FOUNDATIONS OF FOCUS ON FORM; 2 Focus on form: Theory research and practice; 3 Focus on form through conscious reflection; 4 Beyond focus on form; II FOCUS ON FORM IN THE CLASSROOM; 5 Getting the learners' attention; 6 Communicative focus on form; 7 FonF: What kind of focus and on which forms?; 8 The role of form-focused tasks in promoting the second language acquisition of children in grade 2; 9 The importance of timing in focus on form; 10 Pedagogical choices in focus on form
