ABSTRACT

This study evaluated VanPatten’s Input Processing Theory, which underpins what is known as Processing Instruction. This review revealed that Processing Instruction is more effective than traditional and meaningful output-based instruction, and this effect results mainly from structured input activity. Input Processing Theory has a high level of empirical verifiability and internal explanatory validity. However, it has relatively weak external validity and its scope is limited to input processing. It is expected to continue playing a monumental role as a theoretical framework for empirical research. Implications are discussed in relation to EFL teaching in Korea and the advancement of instructed second language acquisition theory.
