| 研究実績の概要 |
Over this first year of the project, I have investigated the variance in fluencies amongst a population of first language Japanese second language learners of English. The investigation includes a longitudinal study, with the same group, over two points at the beginning and end of a semester, using three productive vocabulary tasks (Lex30 (Meara and Fitzpatrick, 2000); G_Lex (Fitzpatrick and Clenton, 2017); and, the Productive Vocabulary Levels Test (Nation and Laufer 1999), and the IELTS speaking test. Preliminary findings appear to indicate that fluency task influences fluency, and that vocabulary use varies according to fluency task.
