Description
Model texts are exemplary native-language texts that serve as guides for shaping language abilities. This book explores the profound impact of sustained exposure to model texts on the cultivation of children's writing skills. Bridging existing research gaps, it delves into the efficacy of written corrective feedback and model texts in language learning. Additionally, it investigates form-focused intervention alongside motivational and perceptual factors. The findings underscore the transformative influence of integrating model texts into English as a foreign language classrooms. As such, it is a perfect read for educators looking for practical tips on language development.
