Research Abstract |
The purpose of this study is to examine how native speakers (NSs) of Japanese who are not teaching the language to learners evaluate the linguistic performance of non-native speakers (NNSs). Findings from this study, together with ones from previous studies on the topic, will be disseminated to teachers of Japanese so that : (1)they can identify a list of items which receive NSs' attention in learner performance, and prioritize their instruction in the classroom based on the tendency ; and (2)teachers can become aware of the items which receive NSs' positive evaluation and promote their teaching of the items. By creating syllabuses and curriculums based on the tendency found in NSs' evaluation of NNSs' linguistic performance, teachers can help their learners to focus on the items which tend to receive NSs' negative evaluation. This study is significant in that it can propose the reconsideration of the order of introducing linguistic items to learners, which has often been determined based mostly on teachers' personal experience and/or textbook writers' intuition.
