This new book, Processing Instruction: Theory, Research, and
Commentary, edited by Bill VanPatten--a pioneer in processing
instruction (PI)--is a refreshing presentation of 10 related and
not widely available articles that illustrate the role of
processing instruction in second language acquisition. The articles
provide both historical and current context, as well as describe
the influence of the input processing model on PI. The contents
include empirical papers presenting new data that demonstrate both
the theoretical and pedagogical threads of research. Aside from
simply establishing where PI stands in the field of instructed SLA,
the book addresses issues, such as processing instruction versus
other types of instruction; the impact of processing instruction on
various linguistic structures; the role of explicit information in
instructional intervention; and the long-term effects of processing
instruction. Each section of the book is highlighted by
commentaries from noted researchers in instructed SLA. An attempt
was made to include voices that offer critical perspectives on
various issues of PI research. The book achieves an unusually
balanced approach to a subject that has stirred debate in the
field. Processing Instruction: Theory, Research, and Commentary
will serve as an important source of information regarding research
methodology and replication in second language acquisition. It will
also be useful in graduate courses where students need exposure to
research design and is especially useful for illustrating the
usefulness of replication in SLA research.
