| Research Abstract |
I have researched the efficacy of two focused tasks, i. e., those focusing on particular structure(s) in implementing the task : a Task Activity(TA)(Takashima, 2000 ; 2005) and a dictogloss(Wajnryb, 1990). The purpose of this study is to investigate the applicability of and the extent to which the independent use or the integrated use of these two focused tasks(the TA and the dictogloss) can improve students' communication abilities at the high school level in Japan. Statistically, the quantitative results of the tests showed that for improvement and residual effect in understanding of the target structures, connecting the dictogloss with the TA is an effective means of enhancing learning and helping students to use grammatical rules more accurately and appropriately.
