LANGUAGE LEARNING: TRENDS IN RESEARCH AND PRACTICE

Abstract

If we view researchers’ work as responding to classroom concerns rather than applying their findings directly to the students, then researchers can have a great deal to say to teachers. As teaching a foreign language is an interactive process, learners must have opportunities to produce comprehensible output during interrelation involving meaningful contents. The effectiveness of grammar instruction appears to depend largely on selection and sequencing of grammar rules. Foreign-language students provide at the moment the best research site for finding answers to this crucial area of language learning.
