| Research Abstract |
Research into how Japanese learners of English (JLE) develop speaking ability has been conducted, but with mixed results. This study used meta-analysis to explain divergent results among previous studies and to clarify developmental patterns of speaking ability of JLE, taking into consideration moderator variables regarding differences in research contexts (e.g., junior or senior high school) and in instructional lengths (e.g., nine months). After searching for relevant documents using databases, I found 13 studies suitable for meta-analysis, using degrees of differences between pretest and posttest scores.
Results obtained using the random-effect model showed degrees of development to small or medium degrees in fluency and syntactic complexity but not in accuracy. The moderator variable analyses did not show significant effects on the degree of development, showing the need for further investigation in this area.
