5.2.6 Focus on Meaning versus Form

In can be observed from Table 5.12 that the percentage of meaning-focused exchanges in Marian’s instruction at the top-down stage nearly doubled that at the pre-project stage (77.61% > 36.84%), and that the percentage of form-focused exchanges largely declined (8.96% < 42.11%). Also, a declining trend was found for exchanges combining meaning and form (13.43% < 21.05%). The statistics regarding meaning-focused exchanges provide empirical evidence for the communicativeness of LAP courses, as students were engaged in classroom interaction that simulated communication in authentic contexts.Table 5.12Meaning- and form-focused exchanges at the top-down stage
