The findings provide further encouraging support that the 4/3/2 technique has some good effects on spoken English production, not only in oral fluency but also in linguistic accuracy, complexity, and appropriateness. The qualitative analyses indicate that omitting or reducing some information is the major strategy for the subject to fit the talk into reduced available time. In addition, pauses (including ah-phenomenon) and lexical repetitions are the major strategies adopted by the subjects to gain time for planning and they use relatively fewer verbal fillers (e.g. 'I mean', 'as you know'). This paper finally puts forward some pedagogical implications of the 4/3/2 technique in foreign language teaching.展开更多

It mainly discusses some kinds of theoretical problems that involve in secondlanguage (SL) oral fluency developing from self-willing motivation based on Levelt's speaking model and deBot's SL producing mechanic and according to logical theory that thing's changing lies in its intrinsicmotivation, having discussed the relationship between self-willing motivation and some relevant factors,finally, we draw a conclusion that self-willing motivation is an original motivation both in SL oral fluency andits learning.展开更多
