| Research Abstract |
The aim of the research was to investigate how Japanese learners of English develop communicative competence in English, focusing on the learning of English word order. This was a 3-year longitudinal research, incorporating the administration of both a written grammar test and two kinds of speaking tests, both of which were developed by the researchers involved. Among the 9 grammatical items examined in the tests, we found that postmodifed structures whose order was different from that of Japanese, were not learned well. In the speaking tests in particular, a number of learners took a long time to produce the first word of a sentence, and/or they were often unable to finish the sentences requiring the use of the structures.
