| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
The study compared the impacts of three types of test (a single-speaker task, paired oral discussion, and group oral interaction) and interlocutors’ proficiency level, on the test scores of 24 Japanese university students. The results showed that the students scored higher in the group oral interaction compared to the single-speaker task and paired oral discussion. Paired or group oral interactions may be implemented in test batteries in the near future. Therefore, learners may need more communicative, interactive activities in their classrooms, to promote their interactive competence.
