About the Lab
Professor Kim Dok-ki's research lab specializes in task-based language teaching (TBLT) and lexical syllabus design, focusing on how pre-selected lexical chunks can enhance second language acquisition. The lab explores the integration of authentic language use with systematic vocabulary instruction, emphasizing 'focus on form' through techniques like recasting and reformulation. A central research direction involves corpus-based materials development and the application of learner needs analysis to create effective, task-driven syllabi.

1Task-Based Language Teaching (TBLT) of the strong version precludes pre-planned linguistic contents for learnability reasons, requires learners’ needs analysis to constitute syllabus contents, attempts to use authentic language only as texts, and asks the teacher to do ‘focus on form’ by means of recasting and reformulating. This study reviews a series of articles and books published over the past two decades around the topics of TBLT and lexical studies. It concludes that preselected lexical ch
