| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
The primary aim of our study was to evaluate the effectiveness of blocked and interleaved practice on the (re)learning of L2-Japanese numerical classifier words in terms of the degree of convergence with the pattern of word use by Japanese-speaking monolinguals. To this end, we asked exchange students who had learned Japanese as an L2 at university to engage in an intervention study. Results showed that even a single session of practice helped all study participants learn how to use a distinct set of Japanese classifier words depending upon the type of object. Results also showed that study participants who studied in the interleaved practice condition showed an advantage at a 1-week delayed posttest than those who studied in the blocked practice condition, suggesting that interleaved practice is more powerful in knowledge retention than blocked practice.
