description Attention is focused on the value of grammar explanations, pattern drills, & cognitive exercises as a means of helping students develop communication skills in a second lang. The discussion begins with an analysis of the basic features of lang use in the real world & in the classroom. Attention then shifts to the pedagogical value of grammar explanations, drills, &/or exercises. Next, some justifications for including each of these in second-lang classes are contrasted with some reasons for not doing so. Finally, alternatives to all three are examined, & the conclusion is drawn that teachers should substitute practice in which students attend to meaning rather than form. 6 References. AA
