Outline of Final Research Achievements

This project has sought to model the process how the input Japanese EFL learners in university have been exposed to affects their syntax and English use. For this purpose, a corpus of high school textbooks was created and how the input influences the learners has been investigated. Since the amount of the data is huge, the analyses are still in progress, but it has been found that 1) input may have larger impact on the syntax development than explicit part-of-speech or argument structure knowledge and 2) high school textbooks by the new curriculum guideline, which took effect in 2013, may be better in terms of vocabulary development.
