Teaching Grammar in Second Language Classrooms: Integrating Form-Focused Instruction in Communicative Context (repost)

Hossein Nassaji, Sandra S. Fotos, "Teaching Grammar in Second Language Classrooms: Integrating Form-Focused Instruction in Communicative Context"

Recent SLA research recognizes the necessity of attention to grammar and demonstrates that form-focused instruction is especially effective when it is incorporated into a meaningful communicative context. Designed specifically for second-language teachers, this text identifies and explores the various options for integrating a focus on grammar and a focus on communication in classroom contexts and offers concrete examples of teaching activities for each option. Each chapter includes a description of the option, its theoretical and empirical background, examples of activities illustrating in a non-technical manner how it can be implemented in the classroom, questions for reflection, and a list of useful resources that teachers can consult for further information.
