国外[形式干预]研究三十年：回顾与展望

Studies on focus on form abroad over the past thirty years: An overview

作为一种特殊的教学方式，[形式干预]的提出是为了解决二语习得中弥漫性、系统性、顽固性且可纠正的问题。通过对近三十年来国外相关文献的回顾和梳理，我们发现，无论是在理论研究方面还是在实证研究方面，国外的相关研究已取得了很大的进展，但也存在不少亟待解决的问题。我们认为，今后[形式干预]研究的方向应该是对[形式干预]过程中学习者内在的认知机制和认知过程的探究，而相应的研究范式则应由宏观的描述性研究、行为研究转向微观的实验性研究。

As a pedagogical expedient， focus on form is proposed to address the pervasive， systematic， remediable or persistent problems in second language acquisition. Based on an overview of 30 years' scholarly literature on focus on form， we find that studies abroad have made considerable progress in both theoretical construction and empirical researches. Notwithstanding， many problems remain unresolved. We conclude that the direction of further study should be on learners' inner cognitive mechanism and process during the pedagogical intervention and the research paradigm should shift from macro descriptive or behavioral research to micro experimental research that draws upon advanced technologies.
