输出任务类型与英语水平对英语学习者口语产出流利度的影响

Effects of Output Task Type and English Proficiency on EFL Learners’ Fluency in Oral Production

通过实证研究发现,输出任务类型的不同和英语水平的高低对口语学习者的语速和音节修正等方面的产出流利度有较大影响。学习者即席讲话任务的语速比复述故事的语速更快、音节修正更少,英语水平对语速和音节修正两项指标均无显著影响。建议口语教学中加强对复述任务练习的重视,培养学习者的复述能力,帮助学习者提升口语流利度。

Through empirical research,it is found that the different types of output tasks and the levels of English proficiency have a greater impact on the spoken language learners’output fluency in terms of speaking speed and syllable repair.EFL learners speak faster and have fewer syllable repairs in spontaneous speech than in story-retelling;English proficiency have no effect on speaking speed and syllable repair.It is suggested that the practice of story-retelling should be emphasized in oral English teaching to help learners improve their oral fluency.
