Abstract
This study investigates the influence of L1 frequency on the acquisition of L2 idioms with an experiment employing structured input
instruction based on the input processing model. Intermediate L2 Korean learners completed a pretest, computer-assisted
instructional treatment session, and posttest. The tests included production, interpretation, and meaning tasks, which manipulated
amount of context and idiom type (i.e., Shared L1-L2 idioms, which have linguistic representations in both languages and are
subgrouped by high or low L1 frequency, and L2 Only idioms, which have no L1 equivalent). The results show that high L1 frequency
had a consistently facilitatory effect on the learning of equivalent L2 idioms, but that context had the strongest effect on the
learning of L2 idioms that have no counterpart in the L1.
期刊介绍:
Accounts of Chemical Research presents short, concise and critical articles offering easy-to-read overviews of basic research and applications in all areas of chemistry and biochemistry. These short reviews focus on research from the author’s own laboratory and are designed to teach the reader about a research project. In addition, Accounts of Chemical Research publishes commentaries that give an informed opinion on a current research problem. Special Issues online are devoted to a single topic of unusual activity and significance.
Accounts of Chemical Research replaces the traditional article abstract with an article "Conspectus." These entries synopsize the research affording the reader a closer look at the content and significance of an article. Through this provision of a more detailed description of the article contents, the Conspectus enhances the article's discoverability by search engines and the exposure for the research.
