The Differential Role of Comprehension and Production Practice.

DeKeyser, Robert M.; Sokalski, Karl J.

Language Learning, v51 p81-112 spec iss 2001

Examined the differential role of comprehension and production practice in second language learning. Discusses the results of a study of 82 first-year students of Spanish as a second language that indicated that relative effectiveness of production versus comprehension practice depended on the morphosyntactic complexity of the structure in question as well as on the delay between practice and testing.
