q2 i? Mean score differences were greater for grammatical collocations than lexical collocations at intermediate (50 vs 40.76) and elementary (57.34 vs 49.92) levels. → Jafarpour 2012

Evidence¶

Jafarpour 2012¶

Jafarpour, A. A., & Sharifi, A. (2012). The effect of error correction feedback on the collocation competence of Iranian EFL learners. Teaching English with Technology, 12(3), 3-17. https://eric.ed.gov/?id=EJ1144965

q2 · i? · causal · r1

Comparison of mean score differences between grammatical and lexical collocation patterns in the experimental group across three proficiency levels. At the intermediate level "grammatical pattern=50, lexical pattern=40.76" and at the elementary level "grammatical pattern=57.34, lexical pattern=49.92". At the advanced level lexical collocations were slightly more significant (55.36 vs 53.21).

"The mean score differences between the advanced and intermediate levels of the experimental groups were GCPOS-GCPRE=50 and LCPOS-LCPRE=40.76, respectively. These differences are more significant for the grammatical patterns than the lexical patterns at the intermediate level."

• Grammatical accuracy gains from written corrective feedback are retained at delayed post-test, but lexical accuracy gains are not — related
