Jo, Hye-Kyoung and jin-Hwa Lee. (2019). Effects of form-focused task repetitions and collaboration on low-level EFL college students’ form learning. Korean Journal of English Language and Linguistics 19-4, 736-754. The study investigated the effects of form-focused task repetitions and pair work on low-level Korean college students’ task performance and English present perfect acquisition. Forty students performed a text-editing task three times either individually (n = 22) or in pairs (n = 18). The two groups’ performances were compared in terms of how many errors they found and accurately corrected and how these numbers changed along with task repetition. In addition, the students’ knowledge of English present perfect was measured before and after task repetitions. The effects of task repetitions were confirmed in both task performance and form acquisition. Both groups could find and correct more errors as they repeated the task. Furthermore, they showed significant gains in the posttest of present perfect. In contrast, the effects of collaboration were not born out in this study. There was no significant difference between the groups in task performance and form acquisition. However, a significant correlation was found between individual learners’ participation in pair work and gains in the posttest. This indicates that it is not the pair work itself but the members’ participation that affects L2 form acquisition.
