Extract

Chapter 11 provides an overview of the terms for talking about grammar instruction and learning, including implicit learning vs. explicit learning and implicit knowledge vs. explicit knowledge. With these common terms defined, the chapter then describes several instructional approaches that researchers have utilized to better understand how language learners build their understanding of the target language. Particular attention is paid to focus-on-form and form-focused instructional strategies.
