Students are human beings; they, like all of us, make mistakes. In the language classroom, these mistakes may be written, spoken, and even thought. How, if, when, under what conditions and to what degree these errors are treated is of current concern in research regarding language acquisition. In their meta-analysis of interactional feedback, Mackey and Goo (2007) report that the utilization of feedback is beneficial and find evidence that feedback within the context of a focus on form environment is also facilitative of acquisition, echoing Norris and Ortega's (2000) positive findings regarding focus on form research. Thus, the role of feedback has found a somewhat limited, very informative and equally persuasive niche in current theory building and research. There is lack of research specifically addressing the role and effects of forms of feedback, other than recasts, namely prompts, in the second language classroom where the focus in on language use as a means of communication rather than the objectification of it. This context employs focus on form, a brief pedagogical intervention that momentarily shifts the focus of the class from meaning to linguistic form (See Long, 1991). Because prompts withhold correct forms (Lyster, 2004; Lyster & Saito, 2010), encourage students to simultaneously notice and self-correct (Lyster & Ranta, 1997), and push modified, student-generated output (de Bot, 1996; Lyster & Izquierdo, 2009; Lyster & Saito, 2010; Swain & Lapkin, 1995), they may be theoretically more appropriate for a focus on form context. This study examines this role in its function and efficacy comparing an implicit prompt, the clarification request, with an explicit prompt, metalinguistic feedback on students' spoken errors in the use of a very complex target structure, the subjunctive in nominal clauses in Spanish. Efficacy of the feedback is measured through successful student uptake, that is, whether or not students are able to self-repair as a result of the intervention and then through development operationalized as mean gains in a pre-test/post-test design. Statistical significance is shown for uptake with metalinguistic feedback only, however no development is shown as a result of any feedback due to the target structure's acquisition complexity.

A pesquisa contou com 10 estudantes de um Curso de Letras, dois quais 6 integravam o terceiro semestre, dois cursavam o quinto semestre e o restante eram alunos do sétimo semestre. Esses estudantes foram submetidos ao DELE (Diploma de Español como Lengua Extranjera), a partir do qual foram classificados como mais ou menos proficientes. Os instrumentos para a obtenção dos dados consistiram em pré-teste, pós-teste imediato e pós-teste postergado, os quais abrangeram teste de julgamento de gramaticalidade cronometrado, teste de julgamento de gramaticalidade não cronometrado, teste de imitação oral, teste livre de descrição de sequência de imagens, teste controlado de descrição de sequência de imagens e teste de narrativa oral. Para fins de análise estatística dos dados, utilizamos o software International Business Machine Statistical Package for Social Studies (SPSS), a partir do qual fizemos uso de frequência relativa, Teste de Qui-quadrado, Teste de ANOVA de medidas repetidas e Teste da árvore CHAID. A intervenção pedagógica consistiu num conjunto de estratégias pedagógicas, tais como: instrução explícita, de natureza isolada, feedback corretivo, informações contrastadas entre o português brasileiro e o Espanhol no que tange ao(não) uso dos clíticos de terceiras pessoas em ambas as línguas e instrução baseada na produção, por meio de tarefas controladas e livres. Os resultados apontaram que o tratamento instrucional ocasionou a redução da transferência linguística do PB para o Espanhol na aprendizagem das formas-alvo. Além disso, os dados sugeriram que a intervenção pedagógica produziu avanço e efeitos duráveis, respectivamente, das formas simples e complexas que seguem em processo de aquisição entre os alunos participantes. / The main goal of this investigation was to verify the effects and durability of the instructional treatment in the third person Spanish clitics learning, as they can be caracterized as basic and complex forms, according to a psycholinguistics view (PIENEMANN, 1985, 1989), in the spontaneous or controlled use of these forms, by brazilian university students with more and less experience in the study of the target language, and with more and less numbers of semesters attended in the Spanish course. The research was conducted with ten language learners. Six of these learners were in the third language semester, two were studying in the fifth semester and the others were seventh semester students. The students acomplished the DELE (Diploma de Español como Lengua Extranjera) test, and then were classified as more or less proficient. Data were collected through a pretest, immediate posttest and delayed posttest. The tests consist of gramammaticality judgment, timed and not timed, oral imitation test, sequence image description and oral narration test. For the statistical data analysis we used the International Business Machine Statistical Package for Social Studies (SPSS) software, from which we made use of the relative frequency, chi-square test, ANOVA for repeated measures and the CHAID tree test. Pedagogical intervention was conducted in the form of pedagogical strategies as explicit instruction, isolated instruction, corrective feedback, differences between brazilian Portuguese and Spanish related to the third person clitics use in both languages and production based instruction, using controlled and opened tasks. The results showed that the instructional treatment decreased the PB linguistic transference to Spanish in the learning of target forms. Thus, data also suggested that the instructional treatment led to the development and durable effects from the basic and complex forms that are in the process of language acquisition among the learners.

This thesis investigates the effects of explicit input-based focus on form on the comprehension and production of noun clauses by the intermediate level students studying at Atilim University. To this end, a comparison was made between the comprehension and production scores of two groups of students from this context, one receiving explicit input-based focus on form (Group 1) and the other receiving no additional instruction other than the one suggested in the syllabus they were following (Group 2). Before and after this instructional intervention, both groups were given three different tests, namely an interpretation test (to evaluate how the students comprehended noun clauses), a production test (to evaluate how they used noun clauses), and a grammaticality judgment test (to evaluate the students&amp / #8223 / explicit knowledge of noun clauses). The comparisons between Group 1 and Group 2 revealed that explicit input-based instruction may have a power to influence the L2 learners&amp / #8223 / comprehension and explicit knowledge of noun clauses. However, the results indicated that this type of instruction may not be effective on the production of learners as it is on their comprehension of L2 forms.

Qatar’s education system has recently been subjected to a process of deep structural reform. One of the beliefs which underpins this reform is the assumption that learner-centred pedagogy is more effective than traditional teacher-centred pedagogy. However, there is limited empirical evidence from a Qatari classroom context regarding the effectiveness of using learner-centred pedagogies. This lack of empirical evidence extends to the teaching of English as a foreign language. This study employed Vygotskian sociocultural theory as a lens to investigate the effects of working collaboratively on learners’ longer-term performance of two grammatical structures, the simple past passive and the present continuous passive, as well as the cognitive processes involved. Interventionist dynamic assessment was used to quantify the linguistic performance of male Arabic undergraduate EFL learners (N = 52) three times (pretest, posttest, and delayed posttest) over a 12-week period. In-between the pretest and the posttest, six form-focused treatment tasks were administered. The experimental group (n = 20) completed the treatment tasks collaboratively; the comparison group (n = 16) completed the treatment tasks individually; and the control group (n = 16) did not complete the treatment tasks. In addition, the genetic method was employed to trace the linguistic development of four participants in the experimental group. These four participants were audio-recorded as they collaboratively completed each treatment session. Mood’s median test (Mood, 1954) found a pretest to posttest statistically significant difference (M = 7.70, df = 1, p = 0.01) between the performances of the experimental and control groups for the structure of the simple past passive which is moderate to large in size (Cramér’s V = 0.46). However for both target structures, no statistically significant difference was found between the experimental group and the comparison group, suggesting that the treatment condition of working collaboratively was not more effective in promoting learners’ linguistic development than the treatment condition of working individually. Additionally, the descriptive statistics revealed high levels of individual variation. Of the four participants who were audio-recorded, the journey of one learner is presented. This data was analysed using a microgenetic approach with LREs (Swain and Lapkin, 1995, 1998, 2002) as the unit of analysis. The microgenetic analysis shows how working collaboratively provides learners with access to a shared cognitive space. Within this space, they can employ language as a cognitive tool to access other-regulation from their peers and deploy their own self-regulatory strategies. The experience of an individual was explored within the context of the linguistic gains made by the collective to whom he belongs. Thus, even though the statistical analysis of the results suggests that working collaboratively is not more effective in facilitating learners’ linguistic development than working individually, the process of language learning has been connected to the outcome of language learning through the results of the descriptive statistics and the microgenetic analysis. This study contributes to a better understanding of: the types of pedagogies that may be effective in a Qatari undergraduate context, why collaborative learning can be effective, how knowledge which is initially social can take on a psychological function, and how the Vygotskian sociocultural methodologies of the genetic method and dynamic assessment can be integrated into an SLA design.

(in English) This diploma thesis focuses on teachers' attitudes and beliefs regarding English grammar teaching at Czech high schools. The thesis is based on the assumption that teachers' decisions and actions in ESL and EFL teaching are motivated by what teachers know, think and believe. It takes the concept of teacher cognition as a starting point. The research part ot the thesis is based on a questionnaire survey among Czech high-school teachers. It aims to observe teachers' beliefs about English grammar teaching and learning and to describe the way Engligh grammar is taught at Czech high schools. The main areas which the research focuses on are grammar teaching approaches, grammar practice, grammatical error correction, the use of L1 in teaching grammar and the use of coursebooks. Moreover, the thesis observes teachers' position towards the concept of method with respect to the recent trend discussed in ELT research - the post-method condition which redefines the relationship of 'method' and a teacher who is understood as a critical and creative strategic thinker.

Com o objetivo de investigar as partículas modais da língua alemã presentes em materiais didáticos de ensino de alemão como língua estrangeira (ALE) destinados a aprendizes iniciantes, realizamos uma pesquisa empírica a partir das séries Deutsch als Fremdsprache 1A Stufen International, Studio D e a fim de verificar: quais partículas são apresentadas e quais funções comunicativas (com base em Helbig, 1990) elas exercem nas interações representadas nos materiais em questão. As ocorrências foram também analisadas com relação aos tipos de foco propostos por Long (1989; 1991). Verificamos, ainda, quais os tipos de atividades e/ou exercícios propostos nesses materiais em que tais partículas estão inseridas. No corpus, foram identificadas 17 partículas modais ou conjuntos de partículas, com um total de 617 ocorrências. As cinco partículas com maior número de ocorrência são: denn (32%), doch (19%), mal (15%), ja (10%) e eigentlich (7%). A partir da análise das situações comunicativas propostas nos materiais do corpus, desenvolvemos um elenco de 31 funções, no qual destacam-se aquelas expressas por denn, doch, mal e ja, evidenciando sua importância desde os primeiros passos na língua. No corpus, as partículas modais são utilizadas principalmente para expressar cortesia e atenuação, para fazer valer a vontade do falante diante de seu interlocutor, ou, ainda, para direcionar o interlocutor ao consenso desejado pelo falante. No que se refere aos tipos de exercícios nos quais as partículas estão inseridas, a totalidade deles é mecânica/reprodutiva nos volumes relativos ao nível A do Quadro Europeu Comum de Referência (QECR) para Línguas. Dessa forma, fica clara a importância da exposição às partículas modais desde o início da aprendizagem do alemão como LE, ainda que não de forma produtiva. Os resultados da análise mostram que tanto materiais comunicativos quanto não comunicativos abordam o tema a partir do foco no significado, no qual a atenção do aprendiz é deslocada para esse significado sem se deter na forma, excluindo-se o ensino formal da gramática, que é aprendida implícita e incidentalmente. A partir dessa constatação, pode-se inferir que os três materiais, em princípio, reconhecem que as partículas modais são importantes para a comunicação autêntica, mas que não necessariamente precisam ser trabalhadas pelo professor. / In order to investigate the modal particles of the German language presented in teaching materials of German as a foreign language for beginners, we conducted an empirical research on the series Deutsch als Fremdsprache IA, Stufen international and Studio D, in order to verify which particles are presented and which communicative functions (based on Helbig 1990) they exert on the interactions represented in the materials in question. The occurrences were also analyzed in relation to the types of focus proposed by Long (1989; 1991), as well as the types of proposed activities and / or exercises in which such particles are inserted. In the corpus, 17 modal particles or sets of particles were identified, with a total of 617 occurrences. The five particles with highest occurrence are: denn (32%), doch (19%), mal (15%), ja (10%) and eigentlich (7%). From the analysis of the communicative situations presented in the corpus materials, we developed a set of 31 functions, in which those expressed by denn, doch, mal and ja stand out, evidencing their importance from the first steps in the language. In the analyzed materials, the modal particles are mainly used to express courtesy and attenuation, to assert the will of the speaker in relation to his interlocutor, or even to direct the interlocutor to the consensus desired by the speaker. Regarding the type of exercises in which the particles are inserted, its totality is of the mechanical / reproductive type in the volumes referring to level A of the CEFR (Common European Framework of Reference for Languages). Thus, it is clear the importance of exposure to the modal particles from the beginning of the learning of German as a foreign language, even though in a non-productive way. The results of the analysis show that both communicative and non-communicative materials approach the theme from the focus on meaning, in which the attention of the learner is shifted to meaning without dwelling on form, excluding formal grammar teaching, which is learned implicitly and incidentally. From this observation, on can infer that the three materials, in principle, recognize that the modal particles are important for authentic communication, but do not necessarily need to be actively approached by the teacher.

Este presente estudo comparou o efeito de duas combinações de instrução com foco na forma no ensino da flexão de adjetivos I e NA da língua japonesa, em sua forma predicativa, aplicadas em duas turmas de nível básico. Uma combinação foi baseada no composto: instrução para processamento com uso de técnica de saliência textual atividade de produção estruturada, e a outra, na atividade de consciousness raising com uso de técnica de saliência textual atividade de produção estruturada. A primeira combinação teve como principal intervenção pedagógica a instrução para processamento formulada por VanPatten (1993, 1996, 2004), e a segunda, a atividade de consciousness raising defendida por alguns autores como Fotos & Ellis (1991). O objetivo principal foi avaliar qual das duas intervenções é mais eficaz na aprendizagem a curto e a longo prazo das flexões dos adjetivos. Para tanto, o desempenho dos aprendizes foi avaliado por cinco pós-testes e por um teste postergado, todos em formato de produção escrita, aplicados após os respectivos tratamentos. Os resultados obtidos pela análise estatística constatam que, apesar de ambas as combinações apresentarem um efeito positivo, a instrução para processamento é mais eficaz tanto na aprendizagem a curto prazo como na de longo prazo das flexões dos adjetivos I e NA. / This study focused on comparing the effects of two combinations of form-focused instruction on the learning of Japanese I and NA adjective inflection, in their predicative form, applied to two elementary level student groups. One combination was based on the composite: processing instruction with textual input enhancement technique structured output activity, and the other one was formed by consciousness raising activity with textual input enhancement technique structured output activity. The main classroom intervention of the first combination was the processing instruction formulated by VanPatten (1993, 1996, 2004), and of the second was the consciousness raising activity advocated by some authors like Fotos & Ellis (1991). The main purpose was to evaluate which of the two interventions is more effective in the short and long term learning of adjective inflection. To that end, the learner`s performance was evaluated through five post-tests and one postponed test, all in written production form, applied after the respective treatments. The results obtained by statistical analysis found that, although both combinations of instruction showed positive learning results, the processing instruction appeared more effective in the short and in the long term learning of Japanese I and NA adjective inflection.

Para dar apoio aos futuros professores de espanhol, estudantes brasileiros da língua em questão, esta tese traz como suporte ao ensino e à aprendizagem de LE a Instrução com Foco na Forma (IFF) e investiga como estudantes brasileiros desenvolvem seu aprendizado no que concerne ao modo subjuntivo, mais especificamente ao presente do subjuntivo, em língua espanhola, principalmente quando utilizam as conjunções cuando, aunque e o pronome relativo donde. No teste piloto, realizado um semestre antes da real investigação, foi percebido um equívoco no uso ou não das referidas conjunções no que concerne ao utilizar o presente do subjuntivo, pois o modo subjuntivo em espanhol é um tempo verbal que se aproxima muito do uso da língua portuguesa, o que, muitas vezes, acaba interferindo na aquisição da LE. A pesquisa foi desenvolvida com estudantes de nível intermediário, futuros professores de espanhol, em uma instituição privada do interior do Estado do Rio Grande do Sul. A pesquisa, caracterizada como pesquisa-ação, foi orientada por princípios qualitativos e quantitativos na escolha dos traços e critérios para elaboração e nos procedimentos para a coleta e análise dos dados. Como base teórica para esta investigação, foi utilizada a IFF e os estudos de Spada (1997, 2008, 2010) e Ellis (2001, 2006, 2009). Os alunos participaram de cinco etapas da pesquisa: pré-teste; aulas-tratamento; pós-teste imediato, pós-teste postergado e entrevista narrativa. Para as tarefas orais e escritas e as aulas-tratamento, foram utilizados os recursos como a Plataforma Edmodo e o Programa de gravação de voz Team Speak. Os testes foram elaborados a partir das ideias de Norris e Ortega (2000, 2001) e contemplavam as seguintes tarefas: preenchimento de lacunas, exercício de múltipla escolha, perguntas e respostas controladas, descrição de imagem e criação de história. Em todas as atividades, os participantes necessitavam utilizar ou não o presente do subjuntivo em espanhol. Durante a análise e a discussão dos resultados, foi possível perceber o equívoco existente e o quanto aIFF foi benéfica para a aprendizagem do presente do subjuntivo em espanhol, mais especificamente, com as conjunções adverbiais cuando e aunque e com o pronome relativo de lugar donde. Nesse sentido, esta tese corrobora com a ideia de que um ensino mais explícito e focado na forma gramatical específica pode ser benéfico para alunos brasileiros estudantes de espanhol como LE. / The teaching of Foreign Languages (FL), specifically Spanish, requires much more than linguistic knowledge from the teacher, it requires knowledge of theoretical issues and pedagogical procedures. To support Brazilian pre-service Spanish teachers, this thesis brings Focus on Form Instruction (FFI) as support to the teaching and learning processes and intends to investigate how Brazilian students develop their learning process regarding the present subjunctive in Spanish language, especially when using the conjunctions cuando, aunque and the relative pronoun donde. In the pilot test, which was conducted a semester before the actual research, errors were detected in the use (or non-use) of the verb form, a phenomenon that was very similar to the Portuguese usage, which end ed upon interfering with the acquisition of the target form. The research was conducted with intermediate level students, future Spanish teachers at a private institution in the state of Rio Grande do Sul. The research, under stood as action research, was guided by qualitative and quantitative traits in the choice of principles and criteria for the preparation and procedures for collecting and analyzing data. As a theoretical basis for this research we used the s tudies by Spada (1997, 2008, 2010) and Ellis (2001, 2006, 2009). Students participated in five research stages: pre-test; class-treatment; immediate post-test, delayed post-testandnarrative interview. For oral and written assignments, and class treatment, resources such as the Edmodo Platform and the Programme Team Speak voice recording were used. The tests were developed by following the ideas by Norris and Ortega (2000, 2001) and contemplated the following tasks: filling gaps, multiple choice exercise, controlled questions and answers, description of image, and story creation. In all activities, participants were supposed to use (or not) the present subjunctive in Spanish. During the analysis and discussion of the results, it was possible to realize the existing misconception and how the FFI was beneficial for learning the present subjunctive in Spanish, more specifically, with adverbial conjunctions aunque, cuando and the relative pronoun donde . Thus, this thesis corroborates the idea that a more explicit and focused approach to the teaching of specific grammatical forms can be beneficial for Brazilian students who study Spanish as a foreign language.
