Description

This presentation is sponsored by Nagoya University Graduate Student Showcase: This ongoing study investigates how task repetition promotes second language oral fluency. Although task repetition may facilitate proceduralisation in speech production, the durability and transferability of fluency gains remain underexplored. As an approximate replication and extension of Lambert et al. (2017), this study refines the original design by controlling interlocutor input, incorporating unfilled pauses, and modelling repeated-measures data with GLMM.

Abstract section 4: Outcomes/results

The study is expected to provide a finer-grained account of fluency development through controlled practice conditions, measuring unfilled pauses, and GLMM-based modelling of repeated-measures data.

Abstract section 3: Content/method

Japanese university students (N = 120) will be randomly assigned to input-only, output-only, or input + output conditions using the same task materials. Fluency development will be assessed across pre-, post-, and delayed post-tests.

Abstract section 2: Contribution/research questions

This study aims to clarify how input, output, and their combination contribute to L2 oral fluency development through task repetition.

Abstract section 1: Relevance

Task repetition may facilitate the proceduralisation of speech production, but the durability and transferability of fluency gains remain underexplored (Suzuki & Hanzawa, 2022).
