Summary/Abstract: This study attempts to examine possible effects of two types of instruction: processing (PI) and traditional (TI) in learning of English causatives by Turkish learners and to see whether possible positive effects are retained well over time by PI and TI groups. Results indicated that both groups resulted in some kind of knowledge gain and had a positive effect on how learners interpreted and produced the English causatives. The effects of the treatments were retained over time in the interpretation of causatives; whereas both the PI and TI groups failed to show the same performance in the production of causatives.
