- Abstract
Little research on how incidental Focus on form (FonF) has investigated Chinese speaking classes and explored factors that can contribute to uptake. To bridge the research gap, this study adopted observationresearch method to investigate whether the Chinese-speaking teacher would place emphasis on incidental FonF and differences of uptake between FonF of student type and that of teacher type and differences of uptake among linguistic foci. A total of 16 participants were selected from an introductory Chinese speaking class. This study found that teacher paid moderate attention to incidental FonF. The proportion test showed that student-initiated FonF could have better uptake, but no significant difference was found in facilitating uptake among different linguistic foci. The study can inform provision of effective incidental FonF.
