However, judgment tasks have gradually been replaced with alternative methods (e.g., reaction time measurement) partly because of the concern about interference of learnt knowledge. This paper argues that despite this possibility (and possible effects of other confounding factors), data collected with judgment tasks are still useful to uncover the nature of L2, referring to the results of two studies (Hokari, 2015; Takeda, 2021), both of which report on the data that are unlikely to be elicited without judgment tasks. Based on the results of these studies, this paper also points out an important property of L2 that is not necessarily discussed in depth in SLA studies.}, pages = {A153--A168}, title = {Are Judgment Tasks Still Useful to Measure L2 Learnersʼ Grammatical Competence?}, year = {2023} }
