Teachability and Learnability of English Grammatical Items That Japanese EFL Learners Suffer From: Towards More Effective and Efficient Teaching and Learning YAMADA, Toshiyuki acquisition order of English grammatical items teachability learnability Japanese-speaking learners of English free writing in English Departmental Bulletin Paper The goal of this paper is to revisit Japanese-speaking English learners’ acquisition order of English grammatical items from new perspectives of teachability and learnability. The fact that there are English grammatical items that Japanese-speaking learners of English suffer from has been explained in terms of their foreign language learning environment in which little exposure to the target language can be expected. The recent studies, however, have provided evidence for another fact that some items are easier or more difficult to be learned compared to others. This Japanese-speaking English learners’ acquisition order of English grammatical items suggests that some items are more teachable or learnable than others. The present study conducted an experiment of free English writing, collected 3,313 errors of 36 morphosyntactic types, and obtained another new evidence for the acquisition order. The theoretical and empirical implications from our approach to the acquisition order in terms of teachability and learnability are discussed. departmental bulletin paper 群馬大学共同教育学部 2025-02-07 VoR application/pdf 群馬大学共同教育学部紀要. 人文・社会科学編 74 121 135 2758-1136 https://gunma-u.repo.nii.ac.jp/record/2000624/files/09 GKJIN-YAMADA.pdf http://hdl.handle.net/10087/0002000624 https://gunma-u.repo.nii.ac.jp/records/2000624 eng open access
