| Research Abstract |
The effects of pre-task planning time in speaking tests on performance have not been sufficiently well understood despite its popularity. Using a multifaceted approach including analysis to extend the process of performance, the aim of this research is to investigate the effect of pre-task planning in a paired format, which has been relatively under-researched. The results from rating scores and discourse analytic measures revealed that planning had limited effect on performance. Conversation analysis, however, identified the possibility of a contrastive mode of discourse under the two planning conditions, raising concerns that planning might deprive test-takers of the chance of demonstrating their abilities of interactingcollaboratively.
