Abstract

Focus-on-form is a pedagogical approach that presents forms in the context of meaning, with an attempt to bring those forms to learners' attention. Research has shown it has increased the acquisition and accurate use of L2 grammatical and lexical forms. To know this approach more, this paper examines FonF instruction in second language acquisition in detail.
