Subclaims¶
Reading the evidence codes
q is the design tier, i the impact, n the sample, and the kind with its r
the rigour judged within that kind: what each code means.
This claim: no standardized effect is recorded in observations/ for it yet, so no benchmark reading is possible.
q3 i? Among college experimental participants, the correlation between negotiation frequency and vocabulary score was not statistically significant. → Baoshu Yi & Zhinong Sun 2013
Evidence¶
Baoshu Yi & Zhinong Sun 2013¶
Baoshu Yi & Zhinong Sun. (2013). An Empirical Study of the Effectiveness of Negotiation of Meaning in L2 Vocabulary Acquisition of Chinese Learners of English. English Language Teaching, 6(10). https://doi.org/10.5539/elt.v6n10p120
q3 · i? · causal · r1
Pearson correlation analysis (Table 5) of the college experimental group (N=42): negotiation frequency and vocabulary score correlated at r = .239, p=.127, not significant; comprehensible input was constant so other correlations could not be computed.
"no correlation can be found between frequency of negotiation of meaning and vocabulary score ( P=0. 127>0.05) in the college groups"
Discussion¶
Related Claims¶
- Conversational interaction facilitates second language grammatical development in adult ESL learners — the general claim this finding bears on, with the studies behind it
- Learner age/level moderates the benefit of negotiation of meaning: high school learners relied on it more than college learners — related
- In high school groups, frequency of negotiation of meaning correlates positively with vocabulary score (r = 0.761) and with comprehensible input (r = 0.310) — reports the opposite
- In college groups, negotiation of meaning made no difference to comprehensible input obtained in the match task — related
- In both high school and college groups, learners with negotiation of meaning scored higher on the delayed post-vocabulary test than learners with pre-modified input only — related
- Differences in moment-to-moment comprehension do not correlate with gains in vocabulary recognition or acquisition of Japanese locative structures — related
