A sociocultural study of young second-language learners and group work.
Yost, Kerri Ann.

A sociocultural study of young second-language learners and group work. - 114 p.

Adviser: Robert Yates.

Thesis (M.A.)--Central Missouri State University, 2001.

This study examined whether young second-language learners can teach one another during group work. Two groups of three Austrian children of relatively the same age and proficiency level watched two cartoons and retold the stories, once as a group and another time individually. The individual performances were compared to group performances to analyze how children assisted one another during the cartoon retelling. The results showed that group work facilitates language learning if children have the opportunity to perform first as a group and then later individually but not the other way around. The children helped one another with vocabulary, took over the task when their peers faltered, reviewed and clarified peer contributions, and made less use of expert assistance. Working as a group made the task less stressful, more manageable, and improved the quality of the task performance. Although the children offered help to one another during the task, this help differed from the kind of assistance a teacher or more experienced peer would offer. The children focused only on the task goal and not on the overall goal of learning a language. It is concluded that young language learners learn from one another, but they do not consciously teach one another.
