Form-Focused Instruction and the Advanced Language Learner : On the Importance of the Semantics of Grammar Hardback
by Anna Turula
Part of the Crossroads and Interfaces: Studies in Linguistics and Literature series
Hardback
Description
Form-Focused Instruction and the Advanced Language Learner looks at the role of FFI at higher levels of foreign language learning.
It argues that – contrary to a common belief – there are aspects of grammar to be taught to the proficient FL user.
While such a learner may be familiar with formal properties of different structures, (s)he still needs to focus on the semantics of target language grammar.
Considering this, the book investigates the efficiency of a FFI treatment called Organic Approach Deductivised or 3-D language pedagogy, devised to teach the semantics of the English tense-and-aspect system to the advanced EFL learner.
In doing so, the book takes the reader through different aspects of focus on form, looking at the semantics of the English time talk from the cognitive perspective.
