The development of the passé composé in lower-intermediate learners of French as a second language
Abstract: In this study we tracked the development of the passé composé in second-language learners of French whose first language is English. Although the passé composé is a highly used tense among native speakers of French and it appears to present particular difficulty for first-language English speakers, its second-language development has been surprisingly under-researched. In order to trace developmental patterns of the the passé composé we obtained a corpus of obligatory context use of this tense by 30 Year-12 (lower-intermediate) students at two time points six months apart and analysed the data both quantitatively and qualitatively. Our findings suggest that these students used remarkably few memorized formulas, that they passed through five distinct stages in their acquisition of the passé composé , that those early stages were characterized by transfer errors, and that the presence of the auxiliary, whether correct or incorrect, formed a crucial stage in the development of the tense. Theoretical explanations for the findings are presented together with some tentative pedagogical implications. ; The full-text of this article is not currently available in ORA, but you may be able to access the article via the publisher copy link on this record page.
