However, it has been little researched in China. The present study reveals how both upper-intermediate and lower-intermediate learners focus on form in the process of doing dictogloss. The study was intended to find whether dictogloss is an effective focus on form task for Chinese EFL students and whether proficiency is related to the extent to which these learners pay attention to form. The results were compared and interpreted in relation to those of other major studies concerning this particular area. It was found that dictogloss was an effective task for Chinese EFL students and there did exist differences between proficiency groups, and these differences seemed to be more complicated among Chinese EFL students.展开更多
