Processing Instruction, Prior Awareness, and the Nature of Second Language Acquisition: A (Partial) Response to Batstone.

VanPatten, Bill

Language Awareness, v11 n4 p240-58 2002

Reviews the nature of processing instruction (PI) and the research that has been conducted on it since 1993. Concludes that Batstone's (2002a) analysis and critique of PI is unfounded and that PI captures his given-to-new principle via the feedback learners get during instruction. (Author/VWL)
