Abstract:
The view of exemplar-based second language learning emphasizes the
importance of frequency in learning grammar. According to this view, type
frequency rather than token frequency contributes to learning generalized
knowledge beyond item-based constructions. This book investigates how
frequency in experiencing exemplars affects the learning of the English
primary verb 'be' by junior high school students in Japan. The study
consists of a quasi-experiment and stimulated-recall analysis of the data.
The quasi-experiment compares three kinds of output practice: practice with
increased type frequency, practice with increased token frequency, and
practice without increased frequency. The experiment also explores how the
frequency effects relate to the extent of explicit knowledge about the
target structures. In the stimulated-recall analysis, learners engaging in
the type frequency practice and those engaging in the token frequency
practice are compared in terms of thought processes employed while
practicing. The book discusses how frequency promotes classroom second
language learning by taking the role of awareness of form-meaning
connections into consideration.
