Herman, Rebecca L.; Flanigan, Beverly Olson
TESL Canada Journal, v13 n1 p1-16 Win 1995
Elementary school students (n=11) were pretested and then given daily formal instruction for 2 weeks in use of past tense and plural noun forms and then posttested. A significant difference was found between these students and control group in detection and correction of noun plural forms, but not in similar test of past tense forms. (49 references) (Author/CK)
