Teaching Ideas for Improving Oral Performance through Formulaic Language Instruction
Chie Ogawa
Vocabulary Learning and Instruction, v9 n2 p48-54 2020
This article suggests three teaching ideas to help L2 learners improve speaking performances through form-focused instruction using formulaic language. Formulaic language is considered an effective way to foster speaking fluency because prefabricated chunks are faster to retrieve than constructing sentences word by word (Wray, 2002). In spite of the benefits of learning formulaic language in L2 learning theory, few empirical studies were found which examined the effects of formulaic language instruction in intact classrooms, in particular in the EFL (English as a Foreign Language) context. By introducing some effective classroom tasks to foster L2 learners' speaking fluency focusing on formulaic language in this article, the author emphasizes the need for empirical research involving EFL learners.
