Abstract

This study investigated the effects of input enhancement and genre on Chinese EFL learners' linguistic performance in continuation writing tasks, measured by complexity, accuracy, and fluency (CAF). Eighty Chinese high school students participated in a two-factor mixed experimental design. Results showed that input enhancement significantly impacted accuracy but not complexity or fluency, while genre significantly affected all three CAF measures. An interaction effect was found between input enhancement and genre on accuracy, but not on complexity or fluency. Pedagogical implications are discussed.
