Recently, debates on grammar instruction has been revolving around whether to focus on form, forms, or meaning. Focus on form and focus on forms have been defined and differentiated by many SLA researchers. A body of ...Recently, debates on grammar instruction has been revolving around whether to focus on form, forms, or meaning. Focus on form and focus on forms have been defined and differentiated by many SLA researchers. A body of research has been conducted to investigate and compare the effectiveness of the three methodological options. The choice among the three will directly determine methodological options of language instructors. This paper is aimed at providing an annotated bibliography of recent papers on the research into focus on form and focus on from. It is hoped that this paper will be of some value to language researchers in this field and English teachers alike.展开更多
