A FonF analysis of the sixth grade elementary school English textbooks

This study aims to analyze how focus on form (FonF) techniques are reflected on the sixth-grade elementary school English textbooks in Korea. The subjects of the study were task activities of five sixth-grade English textbooks based on the 2015 revised curriculum, and the textbook activities were analyzed by revised criteria for task analysis used in Kim Jung-eun s (2017). Data was processed by the SPSS 12.0 program and analyzed through a chi-squared test. The results of this study show that, according to the average frequency of tasks in all textbooks, practice tasks were used approximately twice as much as the consciousness-raising tasks. The tasks in each textbook accounted for a large portion in the order of grammar practice, interpretation tasks, and grammar activities. It has been confirmed that the difference between the amount of the raising awareness task and that of the practice task in the textbooks and between the amount of the grammar exercise task and that of the grammar practice activity task is statistically significant. Therefore, it is necessary to increase consciousness-raising tasks when developing textbooks and present more diverse tasks for raising awareness.
