TitleThe Role of Salience in Language Learning
Body

From https://gianfrancoconti.wordpress.com

Gianfranco Conti writes, “The extent to which a target language structure is salient (i.e. is noticeable, stands out) is likely to affect its chances to be acquired by a learner. This is consonant with Schmidt’s (1990) Noticing hypothesis … which states that noticing a given grammar structure is the starting point for its acquisition.” He goes on to discuss what factors make word pieces and grammatical structures more salient, what the implications are for language teaching and learning, and strategies teachers can use to use salience to enhance learners’ language acquisition.
