q3 i? Significant gains on both vocabulary recognition and structure acquisition measures were found for all three groups, including the group with unmodified input and no interaction. → Lester Loschky 1994

q3 · i? · causal · r?

Across the three experimental conditions (unmodified input with no interaction, premodified input with no interaction, and unmodified input with negotiated interaction), the article reports "significant gains on both measures were found for all three groups." No effect sizes are printed.

"Furthermore, there was no correlation found between differences in moment-to-moment comprehension and gains in vocabulary recognition and acquisition of structures, though significant gains on both measures were found for all three 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
• Differences in moment-to-moment comprehension do not correlate with gains in vocabulary recognition or acquisition of Japanese locative structures — related
• Interactionally modified input aids comprehension but shows no advantage for retention among beginner learners — related
• Negotiated interaction yields higher moment-to-moment comprehension of L2 input than either noninteraction condition, which do not differ from each other — related
