Developmental sequences in the acquisition of French L2: A study of adult classroom learners

"This study investigated whether adult classroom learners of French L2 acquire the language as it is taught in textbooks, or whether there is a varying acquisition order that they seem to follow, one perhaps independent of textbook sequencing. The question arose as a result of the researcher's years of experience as a classroom teacher of French. To answer this question, the textbook presentation order of ten ""elementary"" morphosyntactic features was compared with the acquisition order of these same features in the speech of a sample of adult English L1 classroom learners."
