Some Effects of Task Type on the Relation between Communicative Effectiveness and Grammatical Accuracy in Intensive ESL Classes.
Turner, Carolyn E.; Upshur, John A.
TESL Canada Journal, v12 n2 p18-31 Spr 1995
Investigates Communicative Effectiveness (CE) and Grammatical Accuracy (GA) in fifth-grade students in intensive English-as-a-Second-Language (ESL) classes. Using different types of elicitation tasks in a cross-sectional study, results showed CE and GA are not independent, but the relation between them differs as a function of task type.
