| Research Abstract |
This study investigated longitudinally the relation between cognitive ability, with a focus on the phonological working memory capacity, and listening comprehension and vocabulary knowledge of Japanese language learners at novice to beginner level. Assessment of listening comprehension at this level has proved to be difficult due to learners' insufficient vocabulary and grammar knowledge. The results of this investigation suggest that when learners are based in Japan their listening comprehension ability can be measured 6 to 9 months after the phonological working memory capacity assessment(non-word repetition task) at the novice level. Furthermore, the study has led to the improvement of the earlier version of the non-word repetition task with possible multipurpose applications.
