Regarding the distinction between focus on form and
focus on forms in language teaching, mark T for true and
F for false.
( ) Focus on form may involve brief attention to a linguistic feature that becomes relevant during an activity whose primary orientation remains meaning and communication.
( ) Focus on forms typically organizes instruction around linguistic items selected and sequenced in advance, with the forms themselves functioning as major units of pedagogical organization.
( ) The presence of any explicit grammatical explanation during a communicative task necessarily converts the lesson into a focus-on-forms approach.
( ) A teacher who momentarily draws attention to a recurrent grammatical problem emerging during negotiation of a task can preserve the communicative orientation of the activity.
The correct sequence, from top to bottom, is:
