Abstract: Within the framework of task-based language teaching, various types of tasks have been proposed, yet in English as foreign language classroom contexts where learners' exposure to target language input is often limited, the adoption of form-focused tasks seems to receive much credit. Although the potential academic gains brought forth by such tasks have been studied in some previous quantitative research, the call for investigations into those tasks from a learner perspective remains warranted. In this study I investigated the use of grammatical consciousness-raising (C-R) tasks as an inductive approach to grammar pedagogy in an EFL classroom from a learner perspective. While performing such tasks the informants, who were a class of secondary level English as foreign language learners, made discoveries about the targeted grammar items based on contextualized examples provided. In the study I first examined the extent to which adopting C-R tasks impacted on the informants' learning of English grammar through pretests and posttests. Second, I elicited their perceptions of C-R tasks through a questionnaire and two semi-structured interviews. Third, with the think-aloud protocols method I studied the informants' engagement with the grammar items presented through either C-R tasks or deductive explanation. The findings revealed that the majority of the informants were able to develop grammatical understanding through performing C-R tasks. They tended to respond positively to and show deep engagement with the grammar items presented though such tasks as well. To enhance the perceived effectiveness of such tasks and thus to maximize the effect of grammar teaching, I concluded by suggesting the need for teachers to make the learners fully aware of the nature of and rationale behind C-R tasks and to investigate whether and how such tasks can be integrated with other methodological options in realizing effective grammar instruction in their own contexts.

Download or read book Teaching Grammar in Second Language Classrooms written by Hossein Nassaji and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2011-03-17 with total page 388 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 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.
Book Synopsis Teaching Grammar Through Consciousness-Raising Tasks by : Fakhereh Kazemirad
Download or read book Teaching Grammar Through Consciousness-Raising Tasks written by Fakhereh Kazemirad and published by LAP Lambert Academic Publishing. This book was released on 2013 with total page 124 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: One of the challenges facing teachers of foreign and second language is finding an appropriate format for teaching target language grammar within the current communicative methodology. Since the emphasis on an extensive use of authentic communication has yielded learners with good communication skills, but with limited grammatical accuracy, teachers need to find ways of developing the required grammatical accuracy and the ability to communicate at the same time, without sacrificing one or the other. The present study, therefore, has investigated the merits of promoting learners' consciousness of grammatical structures using consciousness-raising tasks. The findings of the study show that activities that promote conscious attention to the target structures of a foreign language foster learners' acquisition of these structures. Also, it has been noted how learning can be more effective if learners are given the opportunity to reflect and analyze the structures before rushing to produce them. This book can be of interest for foreign and second language teachers and researchers.

This informative volume is divided into the sections focusing on theoretical underpinnings, research, teacher preparation, and classroom application specific to issues facing NNES professionals. Learning and Teaching from Experience is also one of the first volumes to present work by the founding members of the caucus for nonnative English-speakers in the national TESOL professional association, who are rightly considered to be experts in the field. This book will surely interest NNES teachers and researchers, as well as teacher educators and their trainees in the United States and abroad.
