Previous research studies were successful in employing Task-based instruction (TBI) to enhance students' either speaking or writing skills or grammar knowledge. However, few research studies have investigated whether the TBI impacts students' grammatical performance in both speaking and writing skills. The quasi-experimental research investigated…

Lee, James F.; Malovrh, Paul A.; Doherty, Stephen; Nichols, Alecia – Language Teaching Research, 2022
Recent research on the effects of processing instruction (PI) have incorporated online research methods in order to demonstrate that PI has effects on cognitive processing behaviors as well as on accuracy (e.g. Lee & Doherty, 2019a). The present study uses self-paced reading and a moving windows technique to examine the effects of PI on second…

Farahian, Majid; Avarzamani, Farnaz – Eurasian Journal of Applied Linguistics, 2019
There have been plenty of research studies which have demonstrated the efficacy of focus on form (FonF) approach in language teaching. However, processing instruction as a kind of FonF approach has not been given due attention. As such, the present study is an attempt to shed more lights upon the effects of the processing instruction (PI) on EFL…

Lee, Minjin; Révész, Andrea – Journal for the Psychology of Language Learning, 2021
This study investigated the extent to which individual differences in working memory (WM) mediate the effects of captions with or without textual enhancement on attentional allocation and L2 grammatical development, and whether L2 development is influenced by WM memory in the absence of captions. We employed a pretest-posttest-delayed posttest…

Maie, Ryo; DeKeyser, Robert M. – Studies in Second Language Acquisition, 2020
This study is the first to compare objective and subjective measures of explicit and implicit knowledge under learning from incidental exposure. An experiment was conducted, during which L1 English speakers were trained on a semiartificial language, "Japlish." A measure of explicit knowledge and a recently proposed measure of implicit…

Alabdullah, Najat – Arab World English Journal, 2021
This research paper presents a quasi-experimental empirical study investigating the effects of structured input and structured output tasks on the acquisition of English causative forms. This research is framed on VanPatten's (1996) input processing theory. The grammatical form chosen for this investigation is affected by a processing strategy…

Snoder, Per; Reynolds, Barry Lee – ELT Journal, 2019
This instructional intervention investigated the potential for the text reconstruction task "dictogloss" to facilitate the learning of English verb-noun collocations, for example 'carry a risk'. Research has shown that learners have difficulties in using such collocations, but few useful instructional techniques are on offer.…

Suzuki, Yuichi; Yokosawa, Satoko; Aline, David – Language Teaching Research, 2022
Prior research showed that interleaved practice (studying multiple skills at once) is more effective than blocked practice (studying only one skill at a time). This study aims to replicate the benefits of interleaved practice on the proceduralization of second language (L2) syntax and further examines the role of working memory (WM) in different…

Zabihi, Reza – Language Learning Journal, 2022
The study reported in this article examined the impact of task type on the ways in which learners resolve grammatical language-related episodes (LREs) and whether the level of engagement affects subsequent language development. Data were collected over a six-week period. Thirty-two Iranian second language (L2) learners were paired up to complete a…
