| Research Abstract |
This study investigates psychological factors that affect the accuracy, fluency, and complexity of unplanned speech in the L2 when performing under pressure. To address this problem, participants were requested to perform, under pressure, an unplanned story telling task based on four pictures. After completing the speaking task, the participants answered a questionnaire designed to assess psychological factors. Overall, the results showed that not only language proficiency but also psychological factors (e.g., positive attitude toward a task, language awareness) were related to the speech performance of L2 learners.
