Abstract
Isolated and integrated form‐focused instruction (FFI) are two types of FFI that are designed to draw learners' attention to form in communicatively oriented language classrooms. The distinction between the two types is one of timing: in isolated FFI, strategies designed to draw learners' attention to linguistic form are provided before or after learners' communicative activities. The lesson includes both a focus on form and communicative activities but they are provided at separate points during the lesson. In integrated FFI, the teacher draws learners' attention to form during communicative activities at brief intervals. Research suggests that there are benefits to each type of instruction and that the decision to adopt one over the other depends on context and learner differences. This entry outlines some of the principles and research underpinning isolated and integrated FFI and describes how it can be implemented in the language classroom.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from it
