讲座简介：

Task-based language teaching (TBLT) emphasizes the importance of learning a second language by performing meaning-oriented tasks where learners use language as a tool to fulfill communicative objectives. While researchers and practitioners converge on the necessity of attending to linguistic forms in TBLT, the ideal time to provide form-focused instruction (FFI) has been an issue of controversy. This talk provides a comprehensive, in-depth discussion of the theory, research, and pedagogy pertaining to the timing of FFI in TBLT. The talk starts with summary of the theoretical perspectives on FFI timing, such as the Interaction Hypothesis, Skill Acquisition Theory, Transfer Appropriate Processing Theory, and so on. It then provides a synthesis of the empirical evidence on the various options that have been examined in the research, such as pre-task, within-task, and post-task instruction; online vs. offline corrective feedback; and immediate vs. delayed corrective feedback. The talk ends with a discussion of the practical relevance of the research findings that have been accumulated to date or implications the research has for classroom teaching.
