The impact of pseudo-speaking practices on L2 spontaneous speech
Emiko Kaneko (Univ. of Aizu) TL2012-23
Abstract (in Japanese) (See Japanese page) 
(in English) In the field of second language acquisition, mechanical practices such as shadowing and repeating are somewhat outdated. In the context of English as a foreign language (EFL), however, many learners suffer from strong anxiety to speak English naturalistically, and such mechanical training might provide scaffolding to them. This kind of training is also expected to make the processing of working memory more efficient, leading to better L2 oral proficiency. In this ongoing research, non-communicative, or pseudo-speaking, practices were conducted with Japanese university students majoring in computer science, and its effects on their spontaneous speech were investigated in terms of complexity, accuracy and fluency. As a result of 11 short training held once a week, significant interactions were found between group (control vs. experimental) and time (pre- and post-tests) on fluency and complexity, suggesting that the pseudo-speaking practices have positive effects on spontaneous speaking.
