Outline of Final Research Achievements

The aim of this study was to explore effective learner strategies employed in speaking by investigating the gap between the speech production and written production of Japanese EFL learners. As the first stage of the study, a research design was proposed to investigate the performance gap and a new analysis measure, namely, cover rate was introduced to assess the accuracy of the meaning conveyed. Taking into account the cognitive load required for production processes, three kinds of monologue production tasks were examined. The results showed a weak negative correlation between learners’ working memory capacity (WMC) and the production gap for the task with a heavy demand. However, there was a moderate correlation between English proficiency and WMC. Further investigation is necessary to generate suggestions for effective learner strategies in speaking.
