The Effects of Attentional Focus, Presentation Mode, and Language Experience on Second Language Learners' Sentence Processing

The present study sought to explore the effects of attentional focus, presentation mode, and level of language experience on second language (L2) learners' processing of Object-Verb-Subject sentences in Spanish. The Competition Model and the first language sentence processing research that centers on it served as one source of insight into the development of processing strategies. The information processing view of second language acquisition and L2 sentence processing research provided a second perspective for research design and analysis.
