The Effects of Simplified and Elaborated Texts on Foreign Language Reading Comprehension
Linguistic simplification of written texts can increase their comprehensibility for nonnative speakers but reduce their utility for language learning in other ways, for example, through the removal of linguistic items that learners do not know but need to learn. This study was conducted to test the hypothesis that elaborative modification observed in oral foreigner talk discourse, where redundancy and explicitness compensate for unknown linguisti…
Learner Use of Strategies in Interaction: Typology and Teachability
This paper reports on a two-phase study of L2 learner use of listener feedback, particularly their use of clarification questions, in NS-NNS discourse. The initial research questions of interest concerned the degree to which patterns in listener clarification questions could differentiate learners of varying proficiency, the degree to which use of clarification strategies (move types) could be explicitly taught (rather than developed alongside lo…
