| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
For this research, I studied the interaction of motivation (Task Interest and Task Self-efficacy) and oral conversation output (Accuracy, Complexity, Fluency) with the level of tasks topic choice a students has. For this research, I collected data at a high school in Sapporo, Hokkaido using two different types of tasks; descriptive and narrative with two different level of choice; where the student does the task topic decided by the teacher (No Choice) and where the student can choose from amongst three different topic of the same kind of task (Limited Choice).
The after-task survey data results for the motivation of the students to conduct the task, showed no significant differences between the levels of choice, although the limited level was somewhat greater. Oral output data showed greater syntactic Complexity for the Limited Choice (descriptive) task and greater lexical complexity for the Limited Choice (narrative) task. There was also greater Fluency for the descriptive task.
