Negotiation of language form is thought to engage learning processes by helping learners to notice gaps in their developing L2 and ?nd target-like ways of ?lling them. Self-transcription, where learners work together to ?nd language errors in recordings of their own oral output, is an awareness raising exercise that encourages such negotiation. This paper examines the problem-solving efforts of a class of Japanese students as they worked on a transcription exercise in English. It describes the various resources they made use of while tackling L2 problems and considers some of the cognitive processes underlying their decisions. This small scale study shows how these learners effectively negotiated form while working independently of the teacher. Recordings of their discussions reveal a depth of cognitive processing thought to be bene?cial to language development.
