Outline of Final Research Achievements |
This project investigated Japanese learners' speaking and writing in English by constructing a learner corpus of spoken and written narratives using a wordless picture book and analyzing the use of English grammar and vocabulary based on one of the second language acquisition theories, namely Processability Theory (PT) (Pienemann, 1998, 2005; Pienemann, Di Biase, & Kawaguchi, 2005; Bettoni & Di Biase, 2015), and the Common European Framework of Reference for Languages (CEFR). While the results demonstrated general support for the developmental stages of English grammar predicted in PT, more research is needed to explore the relationship between the PT stages and the CEFR levels.
