Hi everyone,
I'm wondering if there are tests to measure the learners' explicit productive knowledge in the field of SLA, focusing on the grammatical aspect. I'm aware of some tests to measure learners' receptive explicit/implicit knowledge (e.g., timed/untimed GJT) and productive explicit knowledge (e.g., Cloze test), but I couldn't find ones for explicit productive knowledge.
Thank you in advance !
Dear Mihwa Lee, could you give us some examples of what "explicit production knowledge in SLA" in relation to grammar looks like? What is it that students know or do? While being from SLA/TEFL myself, I found it difficult to make sense of the term.
The term is broad. I think it would be better if you specify what aspect would you like to measure (specific indicators as to explicit production of SLA).
Dear Darrel Ocampo and Andreas Wirag , thank you for your comments. I imagine learners who possess productive explicit knowledge are able to both use a certain grammar correctly and explain why that grammar use is correct/incorrect in certain sentences. On the other hand, those who possess productive implicit knowledge, for instance, would be able to use a certain grammar correctly, but unable to explicitly articulate/explain why. One simple example would be the use of article in English: some people can correctly use a/an/the according to the context and sentence and further explain why, while others can also use that, but can't explain why. I hope my wording is understandable.
