One of the goals of SLA research is to inform and improve L2 teaching. To this end some researchers have studied what impact L2 teaching has on L2 learning. Formal instruction has been a central part of second language pedagogy, which begins to be challenged by some research. This paper provides a survey of the studies on relationships between formal instruction and SLA, in the hope of providing some hints about L2 teaching and research in China.
