Processing Instruction (PI) is an approach to grammar instruction
for second language learning. It derives its name from the fact
that the instruction (both the explicit explanation as well as the
practices) attempt to influence, alter, and/or improve the way
learners process input. PI contrasts with traditional grammar
instruction in many ways, most principally in its focus on input
whereas traditional grammar instruction focuses on learners'
output. The greatest contribution of PI to both theory and practice
is the concept of "structured input", a form of comprehensible
input that has been manipulated to maximize learners' benefit of
exposure to input. This volume focuses on a new issue for PI, the
role of technology in language learning. It examines empirically
the differential effects of delivering PI in classrooms with an
instructor and students interacting (with each other and with the
instructor) versus on computers to students working individually.
It also contributes to the growing body of research on the effects
of PI on different languages as well as different linguistic items:
preterite/imperfect aspectual contrast and negative informal
commands in Spanish, the subjunctive of doubt and opinion in
Italian, and the subjunctive of doubt in French. Further research
contributions are made by comparing PI with other types of
instruction, specifically, with meaning-oriented output
instruction.
