Study activities are those where the students are asked to focus in on language (or information) and how it is constructed. (How to Teach English, by Jeremy Harmer, page 25)
What does "focus in on" mean here?
Thanks a lot for your reply.

The use of both prepositions ("focus in on") suggests "focus more closely on" or "focus on the details of something".

Bring the image/object gradually into focus (focus in) and that direct focus on/upon a the thing.

Hi, Amy

I think there's a similar expression: "to home in on"

The missile is homing in on the enemy's base

Is it Right?
