Abstract
The author conducted a dictogloss to three learners who completed a beginner level textbook. The reconstructed texts individually written by the learners and the text written through a group discussion were compared from a grammatical viewpoint. The results revealed that the most difficult grammatical elements among the three texts tended to be adopted through discussion. Regarding the dictogloss, wherein only two learners participated, the grammatical elements of the texts after pair discussion were found to be balanced, which indicated consideration of human relations. The analysis reveals learners' consciousness of reproducing sentences very similar to the original sentences by adopting more difficult linguistic forms. Moreover, it also suggests that the learners consider their relationship while working in pairs.
