The form-focused instruction is regarding language grammar and vocabulary. The understanding of grammar can help us construct a sentence while vocabulary is the basic item to all of the four skills. Teaching grammar or not teaching grammar is a hot topic in language classes.

Much grammar focus will be on adults, intermediate to advanced levels, highly education background, writing and speaking skill, formal context, and toward a professional goal. In addition, Brown also indicates five approaches for vocabulary instruction to CLT, and they are devoting some class time to words learning, helping students learn vocabulary within context, promoting the use of a English-English dictionary, encouraging students to develop strategies for determining the meaning of words, and engaging in impromptu learning.
