Wynne Wong
Processing Instruction is a type of pedagogical intervention that is designed to help second language learners acquire specific grammatical structures by teaching them to process input correctly and efficiently. Based on a theory of input processing, the intervention does not require production of target structures during training and uses instead structured input to give learners practice with input processing. This talk given by Wynne Wong will discuss the theoretical framework behind Processing Instruction and how this research paradigm resulted in the creation of Liaisons, a French textbook and film that bridges the gap between second language acquisition theory and classroom practice. RSVP.

Reception will accompany each lecture. Free and open to the public.
