The effectiveness of production-oriented and reception-based instruction in teaching English reported speech

Summary/Abstract: The debate over the rationale behind and effectiveness of formal instruction in foreign/second language learning revolves around a number of basic issues: first, the impact of instruction on the processes of language acquisition; second, the choice of the most advantageous way of teaching. The conviction that pedagogic intervention can facilitate linguistic development seems to have gained much recognition, both among researchers and language teachers. However, the research in the area has turned out to be inconclusive as comparisons of reception-based and production-oriented teaching techniques have not provided clear-cut evidence proving, beyond doubt, that one approach is more efficacious than the other. Since most of the studies have concentrated on measuring the effects of one of the approaches or the other and because of the fact that in those studies experimental groups obtained much better results than the control ones, the present author explores the effects of an approach that combines both orientations, one based on reception and the other on production of a grammatical form, and compares the results with those produced by each of the approaches separately.
