Negotiation of meaning Sample Clauses

Negotiation of meaning. Negotiation of meaning is considered an integral part of task-based language teaching. It is defined in Xxxxx (2003) as "the process by which two or more interlocutors identify and then attempt to resolve a communication breakdown" (346). It is a teaching method that focuses on communication and is typical for focus-on-meaning based language learning; However, it is also used in focus-on-form based language learning. In an instructional or natural setting, this takes the form of mediation between the teacher and the learner. When input is incomplete or considered unaccepted input, negotiation exchanges take place to make the conversation flow better (Xxxx, 2019, 83). Xxxx (2019) is a data analysis that examined the relevance of creative task engagement, and through this, the author tries to illustrate the importance of meaning negotiation in L2 development. The participants that contributed to the data were 36 English majors (21-22 years). These participants then went through four tasks, two controlled and two creative. The author found that, among adult L2 learners, creative assignments lead to more meaningful negotiation. In particular, were assignments that relied on group cooperation and idea convergence (92).
