Grammar teaching can be less direct, more implicit, in the sense that it can include asking students to engage in particular activities in which they are likely to encounter many instances of a particular construction. It is also possible for teachers to "enhance the input" by, for example, giving students a written document in which certain constructions are highlighted. Both of these techniques might become "consciousness-raising" activities-if students' attention is directed explicitly to the targeted constructions.

False
