Participants were 155 Japanese learners of English, who were divided into recast, explicit correction, metalinguistic prompt, and task-only groups. The treatment groups completed tasks that required past progressive usage and received feedback. The executive component of working memory and language analytical ability were measured by the reading span test and LLAMA F. The outcome measures were an untimed grammaticality judgment test (UGJT) and elicited imitation test (EIT), which measured the participants’ declarative and procedural knowledge, respectively. The participants performed the pretest, immediate posttest, and delayed posttest. Multiple regression analyses showed that the executive component of working memory was significantly associated with the gain scores of the UGJT for the recast group and with the gain scores of the EIT for the metalinguistic prompt group. Language analytical ability was not associated with gain scores regardless of the test type for all groups.","PeriodicalId":29903,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Second Language Studies","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":1.0,"publicationDate":"2023-03-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"49079621","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"教育学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

A total of 118 valid L2 Chinese learners finished two developed tests in\u0000 this study, namely, the Chinese speech competence test and the Chinese speech performance test. The results suggested that L2\u0000 Chinese learners’ speech competence and speech performance, as a twofold rendering of their L2 speech production ability, not only\u0000 showed a significant positive correlation with a large effect size (Pearson’s r = .598) but also significantly\u0000 predicted each other with a large effect size (Cohen f2\u0000  = .555). However, such large effect sizes of\u0000 the correlation and the prediction between speech competence and speech performance were not supported among the\u0000 upper-intermediate L2 Chinese learners. This suggested that the development between speech competence and speech performance may\u0000 be more unbalanced among the upper-intermediate L2 Chinese learners compared with their advanced counterparts. The study adds\u0000 evidence to the call for a multidimensional evaluation of L2 speech production ability. It is hoped that the dual approach (i.e.,\u0000 speech competence and speech performance) proposed in the present study may contribute to a more comprehensive evaluation of\u0000 learners’ L2 Chinese speech production ability. Consequently, classroom-based teaching can be tailored to facilitate a more\u0000 balanced development of L2 Chinese learners’ speech competence and speech performance.","PeriodicalId":29903,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Second Language Studies","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":1.0,"publicationDate":"2022-10-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"44881051","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"教育学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

To isolate the effects of each language we use a subtractive language groups design and compare article use in bilinguals\u0000 and two control groups (L1 Russian-L2 English and L1 Danish-L2 English children). The results of a forced choice elicitation task\u0000 show that the use of articles is near target-like in Danish-Russian and L1 Danish children and that bilinguals outperform L1\u0000 Russian children. A detailed investigation of article use, misuse and omission errors also suggests that non-facilitation from\u0000 Russian is virtually non-existent.

By addressing these problems, we argue that some\u0000 latent variables postulated by observing L2 performance do not exist in reality and emphasize the difficulty of interpreting\u0000 cognitive mechanisms through performance analysis. We also enumerate some problems that arise from the epistemological\u0000 perspectives of previous research practice (e.g., the bifurcation of contradictory hypotheses and their indeterminacy).
