Title: The role of grammar language focus to support language learning: Recent research findings and implications for appropriate classroom procedures
Recent research findings and implications for appropriate classroom procedures In the last decade much research has been done on the role of grammar (focus on form) as seen from the learners’ perspective. Grammar does have a place in language learning and is necessary to help develop learners’ interlanguage but is “much more than the lists of labels and rules found in grammar books (…), is closely tied into meaning and use of language, and is inter-connected with vocabulary” (Cameron 2001: 96). A long-term classroom-based research project on the potential of tasks which include a focus on form element found that learners do not learn “isolated items in the L2 one at a time, in an additive, linear fashion, but rather as parts of complex mappings of form-function relationships” (Van den Branden 2006: 5). I will use a task example with a focus on form that I have experimented with in my EFL (English as a Foreign Language) class and will illustrate learning outcomes by the texts that learners have produced as a result of doing the task. I have not used the task that our coursebook had suggested (it is based on the traditional approach of grammar teaching following the sequence of presentation-practice-production) but have re-written it to make it more learner- and learning-centred. Based on your language teaching experience I would like to discuss with you if you consider the particular features of this task appropriate and what you think the issues are in ‘teaching grammar’. This will be followed by a survey on recent research on the supportive role of grammar (focus on form). Classroom-based research has realized that we need to look much more closely at what learners actually do when they perform focus on form tasks and that teachers need to try and view tasks from the perspective of their learners. General guidelines / principles for focus on form tasks will be delineated from research results.
In the workshop phase we will evaluate the quality of tasks with a language (grammar) focus on the basis of your experience. I would therefore ask you to bring along tasks from your teaching / learning contexts to work on. We will discuss their appropriateness for your context / group(s) of learners against the guidelines we have discussed. |
