Modern Language Journal, v82 n4 p514-32 Win 1998

A study analyzed the accuracy of Spanish second-language production across three tasks (narrative, multiple-choice cloze test, fill-in cloze test) on three discourse-determined grammatical items (subject pronouns, articles, past tense aspect) among 74 intermediate and advanced college-level learners. Results revealed different rates of accuracy according to task type and grammatical item. Several potential influences are considered. (Author/MSE)
