Focus on Form in second language teaching

Host Institution: 
Website: http://aliassisi.it/2018/08/language-teaching/

Dates: 10-Jan-2019 - 12-Jan-2019
Location: Assisi, Umbria, Italy

Focus: In this module we will explore the role and effects of a ‘focus on form’ component in second language teaching.
Minimum Education Level: No Minimum


Description:
What is the nature of language? Language is not something to be learned the
way a person learns anything else (e.g., playing tennis, driving a car, etc.).
Language is an abstract, implicit and complex system. How grammar develops in
learner’s mind and brain? What is the role of grammar in second language
teaching? In this module we will explore the role and effects of a ‘focus on
form’ component in second language teaching. During the module an analysis of
how the principles derived from theory and research can be applied to
day-to-day teaching of grammar (focus on form) in modern languages will be
examined and discussed. Research and theory in instructed second language
acquisition provides valuable information about how grammar is learnt and how
different factors may impact on the effectiveness of different pedagogical
interventions. These pedagogical interventions move from input (e.g. input
enhancement, input flood, structured input tasks) to output-based options
(e.g. collaborative tasks, structured output tasks). In this module
participants will be able to develop their own material for a ‘focus on form’
component and plan how to test its effectiveness in the language classroom
through ‘action research’.
