S-Pace to Teach L2 Grammar: Adding Structure to the Pace Model
González-Bueno, Manuela
Applied Language Learning, v31 n1-2 p29-49 2021
A new technique to teach language grammar is proposed. It consists of the blending of two previously existing techniques--VanPatten's (1996) Processing Instruction (PI) and Adair-Hauck and Donato's (2002) Presentation, Attention, Co-construct, and Extension (PACE) Model. The result is the S-PACE Model, which incorporates the whole-language elements of PACE and the structured (S) exercises of PI. By combining crucial elements of both techniques, learners will have a better chance to integrate and retain the new knowledge in their implicit linguistic system.
