The Center for Professional Development presents a lecture on "The Significance of the Implicit vs. Explicit Distinction for Language Pedagogy" by guest lecturer Rod Ellis from the University of Auckland.
To fully master a second language, it's not always enough to merely understand grammar rules, memorize words and practice language drills. In his seminar, Prof. Ellis discusses more effective methods of foreign language learning.

This talk will begin by briefly examining the following distinctions: (1) implicit vs. explicit learning, (2) implicit vs. explicit knowledge and (3) implicit vs. explicit instruction. It will explore the significance of these distinctions for language pedagogy by addressing the following questions:
- How can teachers cater to 'implicit learning' in classroom instruction?
- How can teachers cater to 'explicit learning' in classroom instruction?
- What role does 'explicit learning/ knowledge' play in L2 learning?
- What constitutes an appropriate balance between implicit and explicit language instruction in a language curriculum?
The talk concludes with examples of how tasks can be used to construct a curriculum that helps students develop their implicit and explicit knowledge of a second/foreign language in a classroom context.
