Development of L2 Pragmatic Competence: The Data-Driven Teaching of German Modal Particles Based on a Learner Corpus Nina Vyatkina Penn State University - University of Kansas, USA

2 German Modal Particles “smallwords” (ja, doch, denn, mal…) interpersonal attitudinal markers in informal conversations “indicators of pragmatic competence” “extremely important for the communicative teaching of German” notoriously difficult to teach

3 Modal particles as ‘lexical emoticons’

4 Telecollaboration (TC) at Penn State ( ) American learners of German and German learners of English discussing intercultural topics in both languages using and chat

5 Corpus Telekorp: bilingual integrated learner/native speaker corpus (Belz, 2005)

6 Advantages of Telekorp electronic data come from real-life status- equal interactions (not prompted production on a test) no need for an external comparison corpus materials from recognizable excerpts longitudinal developmental data marked-up corpus (over 30 learner and task variables)

7 Pedagogical intervention Data-driven instruction CMC practice QUAN & QUAL analysis Data-driven instruction CMC practice QUAN & QUAL analysis explicit instruction based on the analysis of data produced by the participants during practice CMC sessions

8 Corpus analysis procedure Automatic retrieval of words with an MP potential (ja, denn, doch, mal) Manual disambiguation and tagging of MPs and their homonyms WordSmith Tools (Scott 2001, 2005) Dispersion plots Concord Collocates

9 Collocations of ja with pronouns, NSs

10 Collocations of ja with pronouns, learners

11 Collocations of ja with pronouns, native speakers

12 Collocations of the MP ja with pronouns, learners

13 MP Dispersion in the corpus Learners: 1. ja 2. denn 3. doch 4. mal NSs: 1. ja 2. denn 3. doch 4. mal

14 Results: mode/intervention effect * Statistically significant difference in mean relative frequencies (no. MPs/1000 German words), p<.05

15 Relative frequency: each MP (post-intervention)

16 Contributions to L2 research and pedagogy a new method for data-driven teaching L2 pragmatic competence drastic development shown to occur new pragmatic features requiring instruction at advanced proficiency levels corpus-based teaching materials comparison data for future replications and related analyses
