Outline of Final Research Achievements |
This study explored the possibility of utilizing orthographic output, namely, spelling errors, as another type of production data, in addition to pronunciation. The participants were beginning-level Japanese L2 learners whose L1 was English. First, a word-level translation test was conducted among participants to examine characteristics of spelling errors; the results were compared with those of a subsequent dictation test using the same stimuli as perception data. The results showed similar difficulties to those reported by previous studies on pronunciation; and errors on translation and perception tests were significantly correlated, similar to previous studies on the perception-production relationship using speech data. These results support the idea that orthographic output, as measured by spelling performance, can serve as useful production data and should be considered when examining learners’L2 phonological acquisition.
