5/5/2023 0 Comments Textual manipulationGiven that attention is a principal cognitive mechanism mediating the process of selecting input for further processing, the potential of different types of instructional interventions to draw learners’ attention to target second language (L2) constructions has been the subject of much research in the field of second language acquisition (SLA). The results revealed that both textual enhancement and task manipulation had significant effects on the way participants allocated their attentional resources during reading, while it did not affect their knowledge of the target constructions as reflected in their grammaticality judgment scores. In addition, stimulated recalls were collected for qualitative analysis of learners’ attentional processes. While reading the article, learners’ eye-movements were recorded with an eye-tracker to measure the allocation of attentional resources as well as reading processes. careful reading to remember textual information as accurately as possible or expeditious reading to figure out the gist as soon as possible. In addition, the reading task was manipulated in terms of the speed and the manner of reading, i.e. the use of English participle phrases in the restrictive use, was typographically enhanced using a different color. For the enhanced conditions, the target L2 construction, i.e. A total of 73 Korean college students read an opinion news article in one of four experimental conditions: (1) textually enhanced, careful reading, (2) textually enhanced, expeditious reading, (3) textually non-enhanced, careful reading, and (4) textually non-enhanced, expeditious reading. This study examined the extent to which textual enhancement and task manipulation affect the learners’ attentional processing and the development of second language (L2) grammatical knowledge.
