Research in TechSLA

Our research interests comprise enhancing online second language learning by leveraging on the use of technology and applying methodological principles and pedagogic procedures that have been theoretically and empirically supported by research in the field of second language acquisition (SLA) and that can inform choices among technological options. We base our research in four main methodological principles in language teaching:

1. Activities (use of communicative tasks for language teaching)
2. Input (provision of rich and elaborate input)
3. Acquisition processes (provision of feedback and focus on form)
4. Learners (individualization of instruction)
