In process-oriented view
It treats grammar as a network of systems to be interacted with rather than
an objectified body of structures to be mastered. It focused on
understanding, general principles and operational experience
Recently, Larsen-Freeman (2003) introduced the term grammaring to refer
to long-overlooked qualities of grammar such as that it is a dynamic process
in which forms have meanings and uses in a rational, discursive, flexible,
interconnected and open system
Grammaring is seen as the learners knowledge/ability to use grammatical structures
accurately, meaningfully, and appropriately (Larsen-Freeman, 2003)
A task like this, as Doughty (2003) pointed out, helps learners integrate
forms and meaning, create their metalinguistic awareness, and
increase their noticing capacity all of which promote successful intake
processing and ultimately language development.
Interactional Activities
The term interaction or negotiation or negotiated interaction generally
refers to conversational exchanges that arise when participants try to
accommodate potential or actual problems of understanding, using
strategies such as comprehension checks or clarification checks.
