Li, Cha; Zhang, Lawrence Jun – Journal of Psycholinguistic Research, 2023
This longitudinal study made the first attempt to employ Latent Growth Curve Modeling to analyze the development of L2 speaking accuracy and fluency through online scaffolding as well as the dynamic relationship between L2 speaking performance and self-efficacy. From the perspective of Complex Dynamic Systems Theory, it tracked the development of…

Kaveh, Ardalan; Hadipourfard, Ehsan; Bavali, Mohammad – JALT CALL Journal, 2023
Writing and its role in English as a foreign language (EFL) context has been one of the primary areas of focus for many years. The present study examined the effects of mobile-based concept mapping on EFL learners' writing fluency and motivation. To fulfill the objective, 70 upper-intermediate level Persian EFL learners were assigned into one…

Teng, Mark Feng; Huang, Jing – Asia Pacific Journal of Education, 2023
Previous studies have explored the roles of metacognitive instruction and collaborative writing, separately, in English writing. Little attention has been paid to students' writing complexity, accuracy, and fluency (CAF). The present study aims to bridge this gap through investigating integrated writing performances based on the linguistic…

Olesya Kisselev; Mihail Kopotev; Anton Vakhranev – Modern Language Journal, 2025
Lexical proficiency in a second language (L2) has long been effectively assessed through the measurement of various lexical indices, or textual characteristics that act as observable indicators of such conceptual categories as lexical richness, diversity, sophistication, and fluency. While many studies have established links between these lexical…

Chaoyang Jin; Jing Yan – Language Learning Journal, 2025
This systematic review aims to explore how task complexity and task sequencing affect the complexity, accuracy, and fluency (CAF) of second language performance. Through an analysis of studies conducted between 2012 and 2021, this review investigates the characteristics of the studies, operationalisation of task complexity, measurements of CAF,…

Jacobus Francois Wolfaardt; Alex Ho-Cheong Leung – Applied Linguistics, 2025
This study investigates the impact of Filipina domestic workers (FilDWs), a marginalized group in Hong Kong (HK), on HK children's language development. It focusses on FilDWs' influence on the second language (L2) English of bilingual HK primary school children attending an English Medium of Instruction school. The elements investigated are L2…

Akiko Fuse; Krysteena Alloggio; Seung-Yun Yang – Communication Disorders Quarterly, 2024
The purpose of this study was to explore the effect of the listener's education and occupation on intelligibility, comprehensibility (ease of understanding), and accentedness in speakers of Russian-accented American English (RA), Southern-accented American English (SA), and General American English (GAE). Native English listeners (N=126) rated…

Mai Ngoc Tran; Kazuya Saito – Language Teaching Research, 2024
Whereas scholars have extensively researched the pedagogical potential of 4/3/2 activities (i.e. increasing time pressure in task repetition) for enhancing second language (L2) fluency, its impact on L2 accuracy remains unclear. To help L2 learners improve both fluency and accuracy, the present study examined the effects of adding accuracy…

Michèle Masson-Trottier; Karine Marcotte; Elizabeth Rochon; Carol Leonard; Ana Inés Ansaldo – International Journal of Language & Communication Disorders, 2024
Background: Over 50% of individuals with aphasia face ongoing word-finding issues. Studies have found phonologically oriented therapy helpful for English speakers, but this has not yet been studied in French. It is essential to assess the effectiveness of such a therapy in French, considering the distinct linguistic typologies between both…

Paul P. Martin; Nicole Graulich – Journal of Science Education and Technology, 2024
Students who learn the language of instruction as an additional language represent a heterogeneous group with varying linguistic and cultural backgrounds, contributing to classroom diversity. Because of the manifold challenges these students encounter while learning the language of instruction, additional barriers arise for them when engaging in…

Harisur Rahman; Sakir Mohammad; Sayeda Tasnuva Swarna – Cogent Education, 2024
Public speaking is a less practiced issue in Bangladesh as it is not included in academic curricula in any tier of education. The fear of public speaking, especially in English, is common among many Bangladeshi university students. To better understand this matter, 19 in-depth interviews and four focus group discussions were carried out among…

Perrin, Christopher J.; Hensel, Sarah A.; Lynch, Durie L.; Gallegos, Lisa R.; Bell, Kendall; Carpenter, Kristen – Journal of Applied Behavior Analysis, 2021
This study replicated and extended previous research on the effectiveness of brief habit reversal, consisting of awareness training and competing response training (silent pause) in reducing the rate of speech disfluencies during public speaking. Nine university students, divided into 3 groups, delivered short speeches on a novel topic. Brief…

Lichtman, Karen – Applied Linguistics, 2021
A great deal of research explores how implicit vs. explicit instruction affects second language learners' grammatical accuracy, generally finding that explicit instruction increases accuracy. However, no research to date has examined the impact of implicit/explicit instruction on learners' fluency. Additionally, nearly all the research has only…
