This study examines the acquisition of grammatical constructions in English as a second language, through repetition-based pedagogical activities, as measured with a grammatical priming task, administered before and after the pedagogical intervention. In the first year of the project, we investigated corpus data on verbs in the ditransitive construction and the caused motion construction to prepare the creation of the pre-task and post-task. We also use that research to develop the pedagogical treatment. In the second year of the project, we chose Inquisit 6 as a software tool to create the materials for the treatment and tests, and designed the pre-test, post-test, and treatment tasks to be used in the study. This was chosen in order to allow the tasks and treatment to be conducted online, so that problems with access to participants due to the COVID-19 pandemic could be overcome.

本研究探讨了英语作为第二语言的语法结构的收购，通过重复为基础的教学活动，作为衡量与语法启动任务，教学干预前后管理。在第一年的实验中，我们收集了双及物结构和致使动构式中动词的语料，为实验前和实验后的任务做准备。我们还利用这项研究来发展教学治疗。在项目的第二年，我们选择了Inquisit 6作为软件工具来创建治疗和测试的材料，并设计了研究中使用的前测、后测和治疗任务。选择这一点是为了允许在线进行任务和治疗，以便克服由于COVID-19大流行而无法接触参与者的问题。
