The Effects of the Allocation of Noticing in Input Processing on Writing Outcomes in a Continuation Task
In order to better understand the role of input in written products,the focus in this study was on input processing from the perspective of noticing to explore the influence of Chinese English learners'allocation of noticing on writing outcomes in the continuation task.Input processing was recorded via the research methods of thinking aloud,notes,and immediate retrospective interviews,and was coded based on the three aspects of meaning,form,and organization.A correlation analysis to determine the proportion of noticing and the corresponding analytical scores(content,language use,and organization)was conducted.The results revealed that the noticing of meaning accounted for the highest proportion in the two tasks,followed by the noticing of organization and form.The noticing of form had a direct impact on writing outcomes,as the proportion of the noticing of form was negatively correlated with lexical complexity and positively correlated with accuracy.The focus on form during input processing was directly linked to the output results;therefore,in teaching practice,attention should be paid to the quality of learners'attention.This stimulates deep processing,thus facilitating effective language acquisition and internalization.
