Cycle and Activity Structures in Second Language Instruction.

Gibbons, John

System, v22 n3 p319-39 Aug 1994

This paper discusses the cyclical nature of second-language instruction, examining the stages of an entire cycle (introduction, input, output, conclusion) and of the cycle's component activities (introduction, set up, performance, outcome, and conclusion). It also discusses how such frameworks can be used in language instruction research. (41 references) (MDM)
