Do Second Language Learners Need Negotiation?

Pica, Teresa

IRAL, v34 n1 p1-21 Feb 1996

Examines whether negotiation addresses the need of second- language (L2) learners to focus attention on L2 form. The study analyzed the utterances of negotiation produced as 20 English native speaker-nonnative speaker (NS-NNS) dyads engaged in communication tasks. Negotiation assisted the NNS needs for data on features that were possible in the L2. (60 references) (Author/CK)
