Description
This study investigates the effects of task repetition on Japanese EFL learners’ oral fluency through a direct replication with contextual adaptation of Thai and Boers (2016). University learners perform repeated monologues under two conditions: 3/2/1 shrinking time and 2/2/2 constant time. Fluency, complexity, and accuracy measures will be compared to examine which technique better supports spontaneous performance. The results will inform theory and practice in fluency-focused English teaching in Japan.
Summary
This study presents a direct replication with contextual adaptation of Thai and Boers (2016), comparing the effects of the 3/2/1 and 2/2/2 monologue repetition techniques on Japanese university EFL learners.
