The Effects of Topic Familiarity on Noticing in Input Processing in L2 Continuation Writing
To better understand Chinese English learners'processing of input materials during the continuation task,this study explores noticing in input processing,with topic familiarity as the task variable.It examines learners'input processing in two stages:before writing and during writing.The study integrates think-aloud protocols,notes,and retrospective interview data to analyze noticing from three dimensions:meaning,form,and organization.It is found that:1)Before writing,noticing of meaning accounts for the highest proportion,while during writing,noticing of form is the most prominent;2)Topic familiarity does not affect noticing distribution before writing.However,during the rereading stage of writing,tasks with high topic familiarity trigger a higher proportion of noticing related to meaning,whereas tasks with low topic familiarity trigger a higher proportion of noticing related to form.
