Speaker
Description
Language teachers should adopt pedagogy that aligns with how learners acquire second languages. This presentation analyzes SLA research findings and their teaching implications proposed in recent publications authored or co-authored by Bill VanPatten. Lichtman and VanPatten (2021), for example, argue that much of Krashen’s view of SLA is basically correct and call for input-rich classrooms and the minimization of the role of explicit learning. Attendees will come away with a coherent perspective on SLA.
