significant differences in the acquisition of noun phrases at three different proficiency levels. It also suggest further research on the acquisition of noun
phrase and the pedagogical implications of the research findings.
5.1 Conclusion
This study on the developmental pattern of the acquisition of the noun phrase by different groups of Indonesian EFL learners set out 1 to discover the
developmental pattern of the acquisition of noun phrase by three different groups of Indonesian EFL learners, and 2 to find out whether there are any significant
differences on developmental pattern of the acquisition of noun phrase between the three different groups of Indonesian EFL learners
With respect to first aim of the current study, it can be concluded from the discussion that the developmental pattern of the acquisition of noun phrase
