Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

This quasi‐experimental study investigated the effects of form‐focused instruction on Italian verbal morphology (first‐ and second‐person singular forms and third‐person plural forms of the present indicative) in a multilingual primary school in Italy. The 10‐hour instructional treatment was distributed over fifteen 40‐minute biweekly lessons in three intact Grade 2 classes comprising native and nonnative speakers of Italian. The instruction was designed to increase the saliency and frequency of the target forms while providing opportunities for oral production practice and corrective feedback. To measure the effects of instruction, 14 Chinese L1 students from the three classes comprised the experimental group, while a similar group of nine Chinese L1 students attending Grade 2 classes at the same school during the following year served as the comparison group. Both groups participated in oral elicitation tasks that served as pre‐ and posttests. A one‐way analysis of variance showed a strong treatment effect for the form‐focused instruction and qualitative analysis of the production data revealed developmental strategies specific to the experimental group.

Teacher imitation

Not calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)

The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.

Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
