- Abstract
This article explores form/meaning relationships, focussing on the use learners make of their internal L2 linguistic resources as a function of focus on meaning. Native speakers of English watched video segments 4 times while recording their own on-line rendition in Spanish. One group watched the same video 3 times and the other group watched different videos each time. At Time 4 both experimental groups sawa new video. A control group saw videos only at Time 1 and Time 4. Analyses were conducted on the basis of overall proficiency, morphosyn-tax, and lexical sophistication. The results provide limited support for the prediction of improvement over time for the group that saw the same video, but no support for a "carryover" effect when the content changed.
