Abstract

This paper presents the results of a parallel classroom experiment investigating the effects of processing instruction and traditional instruction on the acquisition of the Present Perfect Tense in the Italian language. The subjects involved in the present studies were Macedonian student-age learners of Italian residing in their own country. The participants were divided into two groups. The first group received processing instruction and the second group was exposed to traditional instruction. One interpretation and one production measures were used in a post-test design (immediate effect only). The results showed that processing instruction had positive effects on the processing and acquisition of the target feature. The processing instruction group performed better than the traditional instruction group in the interpretation task and in the production task.
