This paper examines the efficacy of translation and oral corrective feedback on intermediate Japanese language learning. The former consists of composition with regard to writing accuracy and fluency, as well as lexical acquisition. The main purpose of this dissertation is to find ways of helping learners acquire Japanese language skills most effectively. Specifically, translation assisted composition and vocabulary learning, and corrective feedback were selected as potentially powerful teaching tools for promoting language proficiency development. This study adopted the action research method and a total of 21 participants took my course Japanese Through Translation.

520 $a This paper examines the efficacy of translation and oral corrective feedback on intermediate Japanese language learning. The former consists of composition with regard to writing accuracy and fluency, as well as lexical acquisition. The main purpose of this dissertation is to find ways of helping learners acquire Japanese language skills most effectively. Specifically, translation assisted composition and vocabulary learning, and corrective feedback were selected as potentially powerful teaching tools for promoting language proficiency development. This study adopted the action research method and a total of 21 participants took my course Japanese Through Translation.
520 $a Since, in today's academic settings, language courses are designed to develop learners' communicative competencies, translation has been overlooked. Based on my experience, however, I believed that translation is an efficient means of adopting a metalinguistic attitude toward language learning, and especially useful for learning semantic and lexical elements. Consequently, the effectiveness of translation was examined by comparing two writing modes (translated and direct) and two vocabulary learning procedures (deliberate and incidental). The results show that participants enhanced writing accuracy through translation, and retained more lexical items via incidental practices. They not only utilized learned skills and knowledge of writing, but of speaking as well. As instructor-researcher, I employed three different types of oral corrective feedback in order of implicitness---recast, elicitation, and metalinguistic---to investigate which worked best for second language (L2) learners. Each was provided in turn when they made errors in utterances during one-on-one conversations. In the end, the third mode outperformed the others by a large margin.
520 $a The study also found that tasks/cues involving cognitive processes were more useful for storing information in and retrieving information from the memory system. This helps explain why translation is an effective means of learning a foreign language, and metalinguistic feedback is a powerful teaching tool that helps students improve their linguistic performance. Although the degree may vary, all three research categories are interconnected via human cognitive processes, which clearly play an important role in L2 learning.
