Data for the article The Effect of Input Enhancement and L1 Glosses on the Acquisition of English Phrasal Verbs

The study investigated the effectiveness of input enhancement (IE) and native language (L1) glossing on second language (L2) learners’ receptive acquisition of English phrasal verbs (PVs) through reading. Sixty-four ESL students read three short restaurant reviews under three different conditions: one with the target items written in red (IE treatment), one with the target items written in red and glossed in the margin (IE + L1 glossing treatment), and a control text with the target items printed in normal black color without glossing. The data shows the three groups of participants and their scores on a multiple-choice test.
