Previous research on focus on form (FonF) instruction has mainly been concerned with identifying effective FonF techniques. For FonF to be a more useful concept for second language (L2) teaching, however, more attention needs to be paid to the teacher’s role. To address this gap in the literature, this study investigated how L2teachers utilize their knowledge of second language acquisition (SLA) concepts related to FonF to implement their communicative FonF instruction in text-based synchronous computer-mediated communication (SCMC). Three teachers took a graduate-level course on SLA. Then, each participated in interaction with two Korean students via Windows Live Messenger. The teachers executed their online interactive lessons and kept weekly reflective journals. Their SLA course papers, journal entries,and chatscripts were analyzed with respect to the application of their knowledge to their lessons. It was found that the application of teachers’ SLA knowledge to FonF in a text-based SCMC setting was a highly dynamic process shaped largely by context, and also by personal beliefs and experience. These findings support the validity of what Ellis (1997) dubbed as cognitive and interpretive models of SLA-L2 pedagogy relationship.
Abstract
Previous research on focus on form (FonF) instruction has mainly been concerned with identifying effective FonF techniques.
