Keiko Hanzawa – Language Teaching Research, 2024
Although several researchers have demonstrated that foreign language (FL) learning experience has a limited effect on the short-term development of second language (L2) fluency, recent studies have suggested that learners can gain long-term (over one year) benefits from FL learning experiences. As a part of the present study, 50 Japanese…

Yoshimasa Ogawa – Journal of Response to Writing, 2025
This study explored a way to help Japanese university students write longer essays while maintaining grammatical accuracy. Participants were three groups of students enrolled in a one-year EFL course in different academic years (N = 111), and the number of words they wrote in 30 minutes and the number of errors made per 100 words were compared. To…

Eva Kartchava; Yushi Bu; Julian Heidt; Abdizalon Mohamed; Judy Seal – Journal of Response to Writing, 2021
Despite a large body of research into the benefits of corrective feedback (i.e., teachers' reactions to students' incorrect use of the target language), little is known about how new and experienced second-language (L2) teachers supply feedback to writing and what factors guide their decisions. This paper is a collaborative effort of 1…

Harumi, Seiko – TESOL Journal, 2023
This article explores the use of conversation analysis (CA)-informed speaking task design to develop second language (L2) learners' interactional repertoires in L2 classrooms. The study draws on the voices of teachers and Japanese learners of English as a foreign language (EFL) who encountered difficulties or dilemmas in L2 interaction due to…

Amar, Cheikhna; Nanbu, Zachary; Greer, Tim – Classroom Discourse, 2022
Based on interaction recorded in EFL classrooms, this study uses Conversation Analysis to document the post-first deployment of an absurd candidate formulation (ACF) to pursue recipient response at points of interactional delay. ACFs are a form of correction-invitation device in which the question initiator proffers a candidate response that is…

Yoshimasa Ogawa – Journal of Response to Writing, 2021
The present study evaluated the effects of a combined form of written corrective feedback (WCF) on English as a foreign language (EFL) students' writing accuracy. The combined WCF consisted of unfocused error-code WCF and focused metalinguistic explanation. Different forms of WCF were administered to two groups of Japanese EFL students in two…

Michael McGuire – Vocabulary Learning and Instruction, 2019
The concept of data-driven learning (DDL) -- direct student use of corpora -- has been gaining attention among researchers and teachers. DDL gives learners the chance to take an inductive approach to learning by recognizing patterns in corpus data rather than following abstract rules. However, very few studies focus on presenting clear practices…

Nobuhiro Kamiya – Language Teaching Research, 2025
In this study, 118 native speakers of Japanese watched 48 separate video clips in which a teacher provided recasts on phonological or lexical errors to students in Portuguese, a language with which the participants were unfamiliar. In the video clips, six recast characteristics were manipulated: length, segmentation (segmented/whole), prosodic…

Wiboolyasarin, Watcharapol; Wiboolyasarin, Kanokpan; Jinowat, Nattawut – Journal of Language and Linguistic Studies, 2020
The goal of this research is to investigate the existence of perceptions and preferences among East Asian undergraduate students of Thai. To fill this gap, ninety-nine L2 learners having experience of studying Thai speaking courses at five universities completed an online questionnaire reporting on their recognitions and attitudes. The findings…

Burri, Michael – PROFILE: Issues in Teachers' Professional Development, 2023
The present study compares the pronunciation practices of three English instructors (two teaching in Australia and one in Japan) with the perceptions of their learners (n = 49). A student questionnaire, semi-structured teacher interviews, and classroom observations were used to collect data. The findings show that the learners strongly desire to…

Nakagawa, Hiroyo; Leung, Ambrose – International Journal of Instruction, 2020
The current study aims to examine the effects of implicit learning on Japanese EFL junior college students' writing. The concept of written corrective feedback (WCF) has continued to receive much attention in second language acquisition research. Although most researchers have been supportive of explicit WCF for the development of accuracy, others…

Sato, Rintaro; Takatsuka, Shigenobu – TESL-EJ, 2016
Errors naturally appear in spontaneous speeches and conversations. Particularly in a second or foreign language, it is only natural that mistakes happen as a part of the learning process. After an inappropriate expression is detected, it can be corrected. This act of correcting can be initiated either by the speaker (non-native speaker) or the…

Strong, Brian; Boers, Frank – Modern Language Journal, 2019
English-as-a-foreign-language (EFL) textbooks and internet resources exhibit various formats and implementations of exercises on phrasal verbs. The experimental study reported here examines whether some of these might be more effective than others. EFL learners at a university in Japan were randomly assigned to 4 treatment groups. Two groups were…

Williams, Clay – TESOL International Journal, 2018
To date, very little research on L2 peer review of L2 essay composition has focused on the issue of whether the choice of L1 or L2 use in the peer review process facilitates or hinders students' transmission and reception of productive commentary on their essay drafts. This study was designed to ascertain the impact of language choice in written…

Colpitts, Bradley D. F.; Past, Travis Hunter – JALT CALL Journal, 2019
The present study compared the efficacy of computer-mediated peer corrective feedback (CF) among two groups of high-proficiency (n=11) and low-proficiency (n=19) postsecondary Japanese EFL students. They completed a 10-week process writing composition, during which the students were given explicit instruction in metalinguistic peer CF. They then…
