| Outline of Research at the Start |
By exploring vocabulary use we intend to highlight:
a) Relationships between lexical frequency profiles (LFP) & vocabulary use
b) How LFPs vary according to use & proficiency
c) The extent that LFPs offer insight into aspects of oral production - e.g. comprehensibility, variation, diversity, etc.
|
| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
This research offers useful insight for second language acquisition researchers investigating oral and written productive vocabulary, receptive vocabulary, and fluency. With this investigation, we found that certain tasks are better suited for researching specific aspects of fluency and vocabulary. We also found that results may be dependent on a speaker's level of proficiency. In support of these claims, I report significant correlations between different types of speaking tasks and i) various aspects of oral fluency, and ii) different levels of spoken academic lexical production.

| Academic Significance and Societal Importance of the Research Achievements |
This study highlights the importance of task selection (spoken and written) when attempting to investigate and assess specific aspects of oral fluency and oral productive vocabulary.
