- Description
- We examined whether French L2 learners trained with processing instruction (PI) or traditional instruction (TI) on the French causative, would transfer training effects to the passive construction. Experiment 2 included explicit information (EI) but not Experiment 1. Accuracy results and eye movement patterns showed PI had a positive impact on participants’ processing of the causative, but neither treatment had any effect on the passive. The null effect could be attributed to the low number of tokens used and to the nature of the passive structure. Furthermore, PI training on the causative might have trained learners to rely on the necessary cues to process causative sentences correctly, but this might not have been sufficient to decrease reliance on the first noun principle.
