Abstract:

This Cambridge Element examines the role and nature of focus on form in second
language acquisition. An overall assessment of the role of instruction and the
nature of language is provided. Instruction might have a facilitative role in
the rate of acquisition. The Element briefly reviews empirical research
examining the relative effects of different types of focus on form and
presents some of the key implications for second language learning and
teaching. An effective focus on form type is one that is input and meaning
oriented. Manipulating input to facilitate language processing and
form-meaning connections might enhance second language acquisition.
