Abstract

This paper reports on a study that was primarily aimed at exploring the benefits of using TR for two times in English teaching for non-English major freshmen in a specific higher vocational college. It investigates the effect of applying an intermediate TR in TBLT procedure, and a second TR in one week’s interval. Recordings were made of 3 students of markedly different English level performing the task in both 2 times of TR. Follow-up interviews were conducted on the teaching teacher and these 3 students. Results revealed that obvious improvement were achieved in oral production regardless of the students’ English level in the first TR. However, when applied in the second time, no further gain was spotted in general, indicating that effect of TR may have been related to the teacher’s scaffolds and the students’ being notified of TR purpose in advance. The obtained results also show implications for teachers and practitioners in EFL context.
