Implementation of focus on form: teachers' and students' conceptions

Abstract

Teachers and students play a significant role in the implementation of any approach to the teaching and learning of English. The Focus on Form (FoF) approach to teaching English in communicative classrooms has attracted the attention of many English language instructors. This papers aims to reflect upon the teachers’ and students’ conceptions of the FoF approach in four Iranian EFL classes. The teachers’ views were derived from interviews whereas the students’ views were drawn from a questionnaire. Consideration of these views would enable English language teachers, researchers and curricula planners to achieve a higher knowledge of the implementation of FoF in different contexts.
