Task-based instruction (2003, methodology): “Of this task type, Newton (2001) explored how tasks may be used to promote vocabulary acquisition, while Fotos and Ellis (1991) used a focussed task to teach dative alternation, and reported that the indirect consciousness-raising approach was broadly as effective as conventional explicit…”
Review article: Instructed second language vocabulary learning (2008, background): “For example, students working in a group can learn vocabulary from each other, especially if it involves explicit negotiation of the meaning of target words (Newton, 2001).”
Current Perspectives on Vocabulary Teaching and Learning (2007, background): “…encouraged to refer to the following sources, which give a multitude of additional teaching principles: Carter, 1998; Coady & Huckin, 1997; Gairns & Redman, 1986; Hunt & Beglar, 1998; McCarthy, 1990; Nation, 1990, 2001; Nation & Meara, 2002; Schmitt, 2000; Schmitt & Schmitt, 1995; and Sökmen, 1997.”
Using pretask modelling to encourage collaborative learning opportunities (2011, result): “Such findings are in line with early research indicating that information gap tasks generally promoted high learner involvement (e.g. Pica & Doughty, 1985; Newton, 1991; Foster, 1998).”
