Second Language Fluency: Judgments on Different Tasks
Abstract
In this study we determined whether untrained raters’ assessments of fluency in low‐proficiency second language speech were related to temporal measures and whether they varied across tasks. We collected speech samples from 20 beginner Mandarin learners of English on picture description, monologue, and dialogue tasks. Temporal measures were made on each sample. Twenty‐eight untrained judges rated fluency, comprehensibility, and accentedness. Three trained raters also judged samples for “goodness of prosody.” The rating data paralleled the speech measurements: speakers’ performance on the monologue and dialogue tasks was significantly better than on the narratives; however, listeners’ judgments of goodness of prosody did not vary across tasks. Comprehensibility and fluency ratings were highly correlated; fluency was more strongly related to comprehensibility than to accentedness.

“This finding is similar to that of Foster and Skehan (1996), who found, in comparing three oral tasks in an unplanned condition, that a picture narrative contained more silence than either a personal information exchange task or a collaborative decision-making task.”

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
