Overview

Observational analysis finds significant correlation between L2 proficiency metrics and working memory, suggesting assessment methods are reliable.

Key Points

  • Both l2 implicit and explicit knowledge significantly predict working memory, indicating their influence on cognitive processes in language acquisition.
  • Participants completed an elicited imitation task and an oxford placement test, revealing measures of implicit and explicit knowledge respectively.
  • Findings may enable effective strategies to improve l2 proficiency by addressing implicit and explicit knowledge in language learners.
