Korrektion och imitation som mätverktyg för diagnos av PT-nivå : Kan man korrigera eller imitera en grammatisk struktur som man inte kan producera i fri skriftlig produktion?

Sammanfattning: The purpose of this study was to examine whether a L2 learner could correct or imitate structures of the language that they could not produce in written production defined by processability theori levels.The Informants had Arabic as their mother tongue. The study showed that the ability of correction developed slower than the capacity for imitation and the ability to written production. The ability of the correction developed by the duration of the stay. The result was a confirmation of theory formation in processability theory. Corrective elicitering could be developed into a useful diagnostic tool in the classroom and thus provide an education that followed a natural learning order according to processability theory by Pienemann. Keywords: processability theori, imitation, correction, written production
