This study uses a complexity–accuracy–lexis–fluency (CALF) framework to explore performance on 2 speaking tasks: a narrative picture‐based task and an interactive decision‐making task. A preliminary aim is to compare performance on the 2 tasks, using a wide range of CALF measures to explore where scores are similar and where they are different. However, the research design is within‐subjects, and so it is also possible to look at performance by participants across the 2 tasks to explore whether particular CALF measures show more consistency than others, and whether any such consistency is related to hypothesised stages in the process of speaking. The main focus of the study is to use the technique of cluster analysis to examine whether there are performance profiles across CALF measures that go beyond consistency with the individual performance variables. The data suggest that there is something of a tension between a discourse‐oriented style—emphasising speed, fluency, and subordination—and a clause‐oriented style—emphasising longer clauses, dysfluency, and slow performance. In addition, it is reported that there is some limited style consistency across the 2 tasks, with just under half of the 47 participants using the same style in each task.

第二语言口语任务的绩效概况

这项研究使用复杂性,准确性,词汇流利性(CALF)框架来探索两个口头任务的表现:基于叙述的图画任务和交互式决策任务。初步目标是比较两种任务的性能,使用多种CALF度量方法来探究分数相似之处和差异之处。但是,研究设计是在主题之内的,因此也有可能查看参与者在两项任务中的表现,以探索特定的CALF指标是否显示出比其他指标更高的一致性,以及任何此类一致性是否与假设的阶段有关。说话的过程。该研究的主要重点是使用聚类分析技术来检查跨CALF度量的绩效概况是否超出了与各个绩效变量的一致性。数据表明,在以话语为导向的风格(强调速度,流利性和从属)与以条款为导向的风格(强调较长的子句,错位和缓慢的表现)之间存在某种张力。此外,据报道,这两个任务之间的样式一致性有限,在47个参与者中,只有不到一半的人在每个任务中使用相同的样式。
