Gender and recasts
Analysis of males’ and females’ L2 development following verbal and gesture-enhanced recasts
Kimi Nakatsukasa | Texas Tech University
This study investigated the influence of learners’ gender on the effectiveness of verbal recasts and gesture-enhanced recasts. A total of 40 adult English-as-a second-language learners participated. In the first condition, the learners received verbal recasts during two communicative tasks. The results showed no difference across gender. In the second condition, the learners received gesture-enhanced recasts. Females significantly outperformed males with a strong effect size in the immediate to delayed posttests gain score but not in the gain score of pretest to immediate posttests. This indicates that the long-term effectiveness of recasts seems to be influenced by learners’ gender. The results are discussed in relation to learners’ memory and the exposure to visual cues.
Keywords: communicative tasks, gesture, learner gender, recasts
