Focus on form in communication EFL classrooms: A study of learner recognition of recasts. - 236 p.

It is generally accepted that recasts, due to their juxtaposition to incorrect forms, may facilitate learner noticing of gaps between the target language and the interlanguage. In turn, noticing the gap has been considered an essential step towards second language (L2) development. However, some studies claim that recasts provided in classrooms may not be very effective in triggering learner noticing since they tend to be perceived as responses to content rather than as corrections to errors.

520 $a It is generally accepted that recasts, due to their juxtaposition to incorrect forms, may facilitate learner noticing of gaps between the target language and the interlanguage.

520 $a This study investigated learner recognition of recasts in EFL classrooms in Korea. Nine high beginning/low intermediate communicative classrooms were observed and videotaped, and three different introspective tools (i.e., recall chart, oral stimulated recall, and written stimulated recall) and a post-exposure recognition test were employed to measure learner recognition of recasts. The study examined (1) the extent to which teacher intent and learner interpretation overlapped; (2) the extent to which learners accurately recognized the gaps between the trigger utterances and the recasts, and whether such recognition of gaps was related to six external variables (i.e. teacher intent, direct recipients vs. observers, complexity, linguistic content, forms, and prosodic emphasis); (3) which variables were predictive of recasts; and (4) whether recognition of gaps was correlated to learner uptake. It was found that learners were able to accurately interpret teacher intent and that recasts triggered a relatively high rate of recognition of gaps. Except for the addressee type (direct recipients vs. observers), the degree of learner recognition of gaps was related to the other five external variables. This finding suggests that different levels of salience of recasts can be adjusted through manipulating teacher intent, function, topic-continuity, prosodic stress, linguistic focus, and complexity. In addition, the study found that learner recognition of gaps was strongly correlated with learner successful uptake.
