Evidence in Support of Written Corrective Feedback. (2008, background): “These functions were targeted because, as a growing literature reports, learners across English language proficiency levels experience difficulty in the use of the English article system (Bitchener et al., 2005; Butler, 2002; Ferris, 2002, 2006; Master, 1995).”
The value of written corrective feedback for migrant and international students (2008, background): “These structures were targeted because students across English language proficiency levels experience difficulty in the use of the English article system (Bitchener, Young, & Cameron, 2005; Butler, 2002; Ferris, 2002, 2006; Master, 1995).”
The value of a focused approach to written corrective feedback (2009, background): “These structures were targeted because students across English language proficiency levels experience difficulty in the use of the English article system (Butler 2002; Bitchener, Young, and Cameron 2005).”
DIFFERENTIAL EFFECTS OF ORAL AND WRITTEN CORRECTIVE FEEDBACK IN THE ESL CLASSROOM (2010, methodology): “This test was adapted from Butler ( 2002 ) and Liu and Gleason’s ( 2002 ) instruments for measuring knowledge of articles.”
Evaluating the effectiveness of explicit instruction on implicit and explicit L2 knowledge (2012, background): “Pedagogically, articles are frequently cited to be problematic even among advanced learners (e.g. Butler, 2002; Huong, 2005).”
Metalinguistic Knowledge and Language Ability in University-Level L2 Learners (2008, background): “…mediating variables such as the distance of the L1–L2 combination under investigation (Elder and Manwaring 2004), participants’ L2 proficiency levels (Butler 2002; Roehr 2005), length and type of prior language study (Alderson et al. 1997; Elder et al. 1999), and individual learner differences in…”
Dialect stabilization and speaker awareness in non-native varieties of English (2005, background): “L1-L2 mismatches have been proposed as an underlying reason for the difficulty of acquiring the Standard English article system (Huebner 1983; Agnihotri, Khanna and Mukherjee 1994; Young 1996; Goto Butler 2002; Jarvis 2002; Y. Kachru 2003).”
Acquisition of article semantics by child and adult L2-English learners* (2009, methodology): “…to provide the reason for their response, in written form.14 They then classified these reasons into several different types, including “uniqueness”, “specificity”, and 14 The method was partially based on that of Butler (2002), who also elicited L2-English learners’ reasons for article (mis)use.”
