“…As attested in previous studies with EFL schoolchildren, learners were mainly collaborative, at the two testing times. As per type of LREs, the majority had a lexical focus, which also corroborates findings in prior young learner literature (Basterrechea & Gallardo-del-Puerto, 2020;Gallardo-del-Puerto & Basterrechea, 2021;García Mayo & Imaz Aguirre, 2019); similar results were obtained in studies that compared high and low proficiency adult learners in ESL (e.g., Leeser, 2004) and EFL (Basterrechea & Leeser, 2019;Kim & McDonough, 2008;Malmqvist, 2005;Storch & Aldosari, 2013) contexts, with low proficient learners producing mainly meaning-focused LREs. As for resolution, it was the expert-novice dyads who produced the largest amount of resolved LREs in Pladevall-Ballester's (2021), findings that corroborate the benefits of this type of pattern attested in earlier studies (e.g., Oliver & Azkarai, 2019;Storch, 2002).…”
