In this approach, language teachers draw learners' attention to the grammatical structures and try to be explicit about the relation between the form and the function either to confirm or to correct learners' hypotheses and develop their cognitive form-meaning mapping. The tasks should be designed to allow the structure to happen incidentally rather than give an overt explanation of rules. By the individualized mapping of meaning to the forms in the real meaningful context, the learners' initiatives in learning grammar would be greatly triggered.展开更多
