1 How do absolute beginners learn inflectional morphology? (French learners of Polish) Rebekah Rast (American University of Paris & UMR-SFL, CNRS) Marzena Watorek (University Paris 8 & UMR-SFL, CNRS) Agnieszka Latos (Università Ca Foscari & UMR-SFL, CNRS) Classroom Oriented Research: Toward Effective Learning and Teaching Konin, 14 Oct Outline Background and research question The VILLA project Today s study methodology and results Aural Grammaticality Judgment test (GJT) Oral production - Route Directions (RD) Thoughts for effective learning and teaching Conclusion 2 1
2 Building a new grammatical system: inflectional morphology Learning inflectional morphology is a vexing problem for second language (L2) learners (Larsen-Freeman 2010: 221). Patterns found in beginner L2 data: Learners attend to meaning over form (VanPatten 1996, 2004) Learners mark time through lexical forms; morphological markers come later (Bardovi-Harlig 1992; Starren 2000) Productions show little to no functional verbal morphology (Klein & Perdue 1997) 3 Research Questions General: How do beginners process the target language (TL) input to break into a new inflectional system, and how do they begin to use inflectional morphology productively? Specific: What helps French learners of Polish judge the grammaticality of Polish nominal morphology? How do French learners of Polish use the Polish input to begin to make productive use of nominal morphology? 4 2
3 The VILLA Project Varieties of Initial Learners in Language Acquisition: Controlled classroom input and elementary forms of linguistic organisation French Dutch Polish Italian German English L1s, learners, input conditions Input types/age/l1s Dutch English French German Italian adult learners, meaningbased (MB) input children (10-yr-olds), meaning-based (MB) input adult learners, form-based (FB) input university students N = 17 age Same: TL (Polish), teacher, content (input scripts), amount & distribution of input, monolingual input, no meta-language, no grammar books/dictionaries (None of the participants had previously been exposed to Polish or another Slavic language) Different: L1s, age of learners, input conditions Dimroth et al.

7 Polish Nominal Morphology in Grammaticality Judgment test (GJT) Nom Inst Masc student-ø student-em Fem studentk-a studentk-ą Sample instructor s slides using these endings Classroom slides (On/Ona jest + Instr) 7
8 Variable: Frequency Frequency is based on the number of tokens in the input. For GJT, two categories: 0 tokens = absent from the input 20+ tokens = present in the input Variable: Transparency Transparency is independently measured: Native speakers of all source languages (not our learners!) took a translation task: Two categories: 0% = opaque (not transparent) 50%+ = transparent 8
9 Task 1: Grammaticality Judgments (GJT) (E-prime experiment) Instructions: - listen to a sentence (3 words) - press a button: yes or no, was the sentence correct? Stimuli: - 64 sentences with target items (32 grammatical/ 32 ungrammatical) (balanced: P/T, P/O, A/T, A/O) - 32 distractor sentences GJT - sample sentences All target items: professions and nationalities / feminine and masculine example masculine: Absent/Opaque Patryk jest lekarzem *Dawid jest lekarz David is doctor (médécin) 9
10 GJT - sample sentences example feminine: Absent/Opaque Maria jest piosenkarką *Karina jest piosenkarka Karina is singer (chanteuse) GJT - Results Overall accuracy grammatical vs ungrammatical sentences over time (Time 1 vs. Time 2) Frequency and transparency effects 20 10
11 GJT overall accuracy % Accuracy Time 1 Time 2 grammatical ungrammatical No significant difference between masculine and feminine items 21 GJT T1: Transparency and Frequency Effects % Accuracy on grammatical sentences Transp Opaque Present in input Absent from input 22 11
12 GJT T2: Transparency and Frequency Effects % Accuracy on grammatical sentences Transp Opaque Present in input Absent from input 23 GJT Results summary Learners showed sensitivity to nominal morphology after only 4.5 hours of exposure. Learner performance improved over time. Transparency and frequency effects found: Frequency helped performance. Transparency helped performance on absent items. In sum, access to lexical meaning appears to have helped learners judge nominal morphology
13 Task 2: Route Directions (RD) Next, we attempted to measure the productive knowledge of Polish nominal morphology. The same task was used for: In-class teaching Oral production task final day of Polish course 25 Communication Task Route Directions (oral production task) Role play a conversation between a tourist (the investigator) and a local inhabitant of the town (the learner). Both are looking at a map. The investigator begins with a question Excuse me, how do I get to 4 Dobra Street? The task for the learner is to explain how to get from the current location to 4 Dobra Street

17 RD final comments Prior research has shown that at the early stages of L2A, learners tend to use the base form in all contexts; however, on this challenging production task after only 14 hours of input we observed the emergence of different morphological forms of the same item. This suggests that some learners have taken in selected forms from the input and tried to reproduce them. 33 Thoughts for effective learning and teaching GJT - Repetitive exposure (frequency) in meaningful contexts seems to help learners incorporate forms into their grammars. GJT - VP s learners attend to meaning over form might be rephrased as knowing the meaning (transparency and/or frequency) can help learners attend to form. RD Learners worked more on the forms located in spatial regions that are crucial for the task (in our case szpital, sklep) than on other forms. This work gave them the opportunity to practice these forms in meaningfully discourse
18 Thoughts for effective learning and teaching If we as language teachers want our students to work on form, we need to provide situations where target forms are required (not simply optional) for the task at hand. We need to identify these situations and forms and write teaching materials accordingly. 35 Conclusion We see in the data the complex work that learners did on the input in order to meet the challenge of the tasks. This work reveals not only the complexity, but also the creativity (Klein & Perdue 1997, Basic Variety) of their emerging systems, including form. Our role as teachers is to encourage and guide the use of these creative systems with tasks and input that push and challenge learners and that help them shape their new grammars
