Put sentence patterns first. Humans chunk everything into patterns. The larger the chunk, the lighter the load on working memory as we process language. However, if you put the teaching of single words and conjugations first you will raise a breed of slow and hesitant speakers.

Findings from key error correction studies. Whilst they do point to a superiority for (1) a narrow focus and (2) explicit/direct correction for weaker learners and (3) implicit/indirect error correctiom for the more able ones, the research evidence points to the importance of considering individual and contextual variables in the provision of corrective feedback.
