Abstract:

Processing Instruction: Theory, Research, and Commentary presents ten
previously unpublished articles that update and illustrate the
influence of the input processing model on processing instruction in
second language acquisition.

Each section of the volume offers commentaries from renowned
researchers in instructed second language acquisitions, including
critical perspectives on various points of PI research. The empirical
chapters within the sections address theoretical and pedagogical
issues such as processing instruction vs. other types of instruction;
the impact of processing instruction on various linguistic structures;
the role of explicit information in instructional intervention; and
the long-term effects of processing instruction. In addition to
providing further research and commentary on PI, this volume will be
an important resource for graduate students and researchers regarding
research methodology and replication in second language acquisition
and language teaching.
