Outline of Final Research Achievements |
The present study investigated the L2 acquisition of English verbs by Japanese learners, focusing on the possibility of transitivity alternation, and the effects of explicit instruction on verb structures. The purpose of the study was to apply the results to university English education, considering that explicit instruction on verb structures could be effective for university learners. Specifically, we provided explicit instruction on English verb structures (intransitive, transitive and alternting verbs) to Japanese learners of English at the university level and examined the effects of the instruction. The results show that explicit instruction on verb classification and learners' errors can be effective.
