Focus on Form in Classroom Second Language Acquisition by Catherine Doughty
This volume examines theoretical foundations, empirical research, and pedagogical implementations of focus on form. Traditional language teaching can result in limited fluency, whereas communicative approaches tend to produce fluency with less accuracy. This book presents a potential solution to this dilemma. The paperback edition respects students' internal linguistic syllabus by drawing their attention to problematic linguistic features during communicative activities, thus providing an alternative to methodologies that treat accuracy and fluency separately. This volume examines theoretical foundations, empirical research, and a range of possible pedagogical implementations.

For the first time in book form, Cathy provides an intensive understanding and step-by-step guide utilizing scientific methodology to navigate complex issues and medical decision making in an uncertain decision space that a patient experiences during a breast cancer diagnosis and treatment planning. Her personal experience with breast cancer, paired with an yielding sense of humor, is woven throughout this book and provides insights on how to utilize a tool set and see how information being refracted can be misrepresented through the prism of uncertainty. She will walk the reader through each phase of breast cancer treatment planning with decision matrices, forms, and discussion documents while keeping you on the edge of your seat on an adrenaline thrill ride wondering what is going to happen next and empowered throughout every page!
