Instruction & L2 grammatical development
• Provision of comprehensible L2 input via:
 Modifications to instructional speech or materials
 Opportunities for learner negotiation
• Attention directed to L2 form-meaning relationships via:
 Salience in instructional speech or materials
 Explicit, metalinguistic information about the L2
 Feedback on learner performance
• Opportunities for L2 output

(Swain, 1985, 1995, 2000)
Learners “pushed” to encode meaning in morphosyntax
Test hypotheses about L2 form-meaning relationships
Notice gaps in L2 grammar
Conceptualize L2 grammar through “metatalk”
Task-Based Instruction
• “Require[s] learners to use language, with
emphasis on meaning, to attain an objective”
(Bygate, Skehan, & Swain, 2001, p. 11)
• “Focused tasks” target the purposeful use of
specific L2 structures to express meaning (Ellis,
2003, p. 16)

Descriptions = adjective agreement
Narration = past tense and aspect marking
Requests of others = subjunctive mood
Explaining procedures = impersonal passive
Narrating spontaneous events = inchoative verbs
Learner-Led Discourse
• Strengths:
 More like real world communication (Nunan, 1987)
 Participatory structure more suitable for negotiation,
especially during “information gap” tasks (Pica, 1987; Pica et al.,
1993)
 More discourse turns per learner = more opportunities for
negotiation (Lee, 2000; Long & Porter, 1985)
 Greater linguistic autonomy and self-regulation (van Lier, 1996)
 Learners assist each other during task performance (Donato,
1994; Swain, 1998, 2000; Swain & Lapkin, 1995)
Learner-Led Discourse
• Weaknesses:
 Learners often produce minimal utterances (Seedhouse, 1999)
 Learners are poor L2 models for each other (Prabhu, 1987)
 Learners prefer to focus on lexical rather than
morphosyntactic L2 issues when negotiating (Buckwalter, 2001;
Morris, 2002; Williams, 1999)
• Suggested Remedies:
 Make target forms “useful” or “essential” to task
performance (Loschky & Bley-Vroman, 1993; Fotos, 2002)
 Precede tasks with pre-task warm-up to orient learners to
necessary language; follow tasks with post-task activity to
lend accountability to learner performance (Skehan, 1996,
1998)
Teacher-Led Discourse
• Strengths:
 Teacher input and support provides expert “scaffolding”
for task performance (Adair-Hauck & Donato, 1994; Antón, 1999;
McCormick & Donato, 2000).
 Teacher feedback has been shown to benefit non-turntaking listeners as well as active discourse participants
(Ohta, 2000, 2001).
• Weaknesses:
 Far fewer speaking turns per learner (Lee, 2000)
 IRF sequences (Initiate, Response, Feedback) often limit
learner utterances and prevent development of broader
interactional competence (Brooks, 1993; Hall, 1995, 2004;
Leemann-Guthrie, 1984; Mehan, 1979; Nunan, 1990)
Teacher-Led Discourse
• Suggested Remedies:
 Design whole-class activities as collaborative
communication tasks, rather than mechanical grammar
drills (DeKeyser, 1998; Wong & VanPatten, 2003)
 Teachers should build their turns upon topical content of
learner utterances, as “follow up” moves (Johnson, 1995;
Toth, 2004; Wells, 1998)
 Solicit multiple learner responses to teacher questions
before moving onto another question (Toth)
Motivation for comparing TLD & LLD
• Importance of interlocutors and interaction in L2 acquisition
• Little previous research:
 Pica (1987), Doughty & Pica (1986): More negotiation for LLD
in “information exchange” tasks; similar amounts of negotiation
in more open-ended “collaborative discussion”
 Fotos (1993, 1994): TLD and LLD classes perform nearly
equally, with TLD group “noticing” one of target structures more
frequently
• Calls for further research:
 Pica (1994): Benefits of negotiated interaction in learner dyads
need to be supported by quantitative assessments of learning
outcomes
 DeKeyser (2003), Doughty (2003), Pica (2005): Quantitative
studies of learning outcomes through LLD negotiation need to
be conducted in ecologically-valid classroom contexts, rather
than only in laboratory settings.
Spanish se
Se used to derive intransitive syntax from a transitive verb
(Dobrobie-Sorin, 1998; Montrul, 2004; Raposo & Uriagereka, 1996)

Research Questions
• Question 1: Will LLD provide an advantage in grammaticality
judgments for Spanish anticausative se when compared to
TLD?
• Question 2: Will LLD provide an advantage over TLD in
performance with anticausative se on sentence-level picture
descriptions?
• Question 3: Will excerpts of classroom interactions reveal
differences in the way learners in each group attend to the
form-meaning relationships associated with anticausative se
and use the target form for output?
Method: Participants
6 intact classes of 2nd semester beginning L2 Spanish in
two large, public American universities with identical
Spanish curriculums. Each group comprised of two
classes.
 Teacher-Led Discourse (TLD): n = 28
 Learner-Led Discourse (LLD): n = 25
 Control Group (C): n = 25
 Native Speaker comparison group: n = 30
Method: Instruction

to target forms may be limited in LLD:
 Developmental needs that focus attention other areas of
L2 morphosyntax
 Widely-observed tendency to focus on lexis rather than
morphosyntax, and to prioritize getting meaning across
over formal accuracy
 Preference for self-correction rather than othercorrection (Buckwalter, 2001; Seedhouse, 2004)
 Participatory roles that, while increasing turn-taking, do
not authorize individuals to assist in procedures for
making output
Discussion
• In TLD, attention to target forms may be more
consistent
 Provision of accurate input models and cues for using
target form
 Feedback centers on target form
 Cumulative benefit of feedback to others, if relevance is
maintained across discourse turns
 Participatory roles allow teacher-expert to directly assist
learners in formulating utterances
 Following Ohta (2001), potential for collaborative
listeners to indirectly realize output benefits if they are
cognitively engaged.
Discussion
• Teachers as providers of procedural assistance in output
processing:
 Assistance with linguistic task of utterance formulation and
morphosyntactic assembly, rather than conceptual or analytical
“scaffolding” (Wood, Bruner, & Ross, 1976).
 Proactive, simultaneous assistance to learner rather than
reactive and subsequent feedback, as in clarification requests,
confirmation checks, or recasts. (Long, 1981, 1996).
 Assistance utilizing L2 morphosyntax that is more complex than
the learner’s extant interlanguage, OR
 Useable metalinguistic information that can guide learners
toward incorporating new forms into their L2 speech.
Discussion
• Hypothesized benefits of procedural assistance
 Some current models of language processing hold that hierarchical
morphosyntactic relationships are computed on-line, during
comprehension or production (Harrington, 2001; Juffs, 2004; Pritchett, 1992)
 Parsing, or processing, L2 form-meaning relationships may be key to a
transition theory that explains how the L2 linguistic properties become
incorporated into interlanguage grammars. (Carroll, 2001; Gregg, 2001;
Pienemann, 1999)
 Procedural assistance may allow learners to implement, or
“proceduralize,” the declarative L2 metalinguistic knowledge they
have, increasing the complexity of L2 utterances that they can process
 If learners are able to assemble more complex utterances with the
assistance of an expert, this may facilitate incorporation of these
structures into the implicit L2 grammatical system.
