Processing Instruction (PI) is an approach to grammar instruction for second language learning. It derives its name from the fact that the instruction (both the explicit explanation as well as the practices) attempt to influence, alter, and/or improve the way learners process input. PI contrasts with traditional grammar instruction in many ways, principally in its focus on the learner's input rather than their output. This book focuses on a new issue for PI, the role of technology in language learning. The authors compare empirically the differential effects of delivering PI in classrooms...

"Processing Instruction is an approach to grammar instruction for second language learning, contrasting with traditional grammar instruction in its focus on structured input rather than learners' output. This book compares student assessment after traditional grammar instruction and after Processing Instruction to assess the positive benefits of this method of second language teaching. Rather than examining sentence-level tasks, the study looks at the relative effectiveness of Processing Instruction on discourse-level linguistic ability. Case studies using empirical data from second...

This volume tracks the impact Processing Instruction has made since its conception. The authors explain Processing Instruction, both its main theoretical underpinnings as well as the guidelines for developing structured input practices. They review the empirical research conducted to date, so that readers have an overview of new research carried out on the effects of Processing Instruction. The work concludes with reflections on the generalizability and limits of the research on Processing Instruction and offers future directions for Processing Instruction research.

This work identifies developmental stages in the acquisition of object pronouns by instructed second language learners of Spanish.It examines learners ranging from beginner to advanced, where the most advanced are themselves teachers of Spanish language courses.Study abroad experience is also a variable in the data.
The book explores language production from a functionalist perspective, examining form-to-function and function-to-form mappings. It provides insights into related developments in production, placement and processing of object pronouns. Detailed analysis reveals that...

This collection of essays builds on the authors previous work and aims to open an additional branch of research in Processing Instruction and to stimulate further research. This is the first collection of studies that empirically address the role that individual differences, such as age, gender, and native language background, might play in the results generated by Processing Instruction.

SAFE PASSAGE is the first book to feature the dramatic story of the American civilians, trapped on the Hawaiian Islands after the horrifying surprise attack on Pearl Harbor by the Japanese, who were evacuated thousands of miles by ship across the Pacific and by train across the United States in mid-winter. The bombing attack that came early on a December Sunday morning in 1941 left thousands of civilians, many of them suddenly widowed women (including the author's mother) and their young children, vulnerable and afraid, at least 3000 miles from home. Just as on 9/11, with the awful events of...
