| description | This study evaluates the effects of length of formal learning time on the grammatical performance of English
morphosyntactic structures among Iranian foreign language learners. Among different factors affecting
language learning, the length of formal language exposure or language input is introduced as an important
factor in language learning process. Thus, length of receiving input exposure in the form of formal classroom
instruction in the current study is carefully studied by categorizing the participants in four different groups. The
participants represented different exposure time groups by having various formal instruction hours at school
and/or language center. In order to investigate the role of formal learning time on the performance of the
individual morphosyntactic structures, the participants were presented to a timed Grammaticality Judgment
Task. The task tested eleven different morphosyntactic structures and contained 132 sentences. The participants
were asked to judge the grammaticality of the sentences and do the necessary corrections if needed. Repeated
Measures ANOVA and regression analyses were performed to analyse the data. Results revealed the
contribution of time on the performance of the individual structures. |
