  • EFL students tend to have problems with accuracy. It is mainly observed when they have to produce a text or maintain a dialogue. Swam, and Ellis agreed that it occurs due to a breaking between meaning and form. Therefore, this research intends to determine if a Planned focus on form Instruction (PFoF), which mixes form and meaning generates an effect of A2 learners from a Public University in Ecuador. Hence, a pre-test and post-test were applied to 31 students, who learned grammatical structures by using PFoF. The results indicate that PFoF produces a positive effect on grammar knowledge and English skills.
