Fluency Training in the ESL Classroom: An Experimental Study of Fluency Development and Proceduralization
Open accessAbstract
The present study investigates the role of speech repetition in oral fluency development. Twenty‐four students enrolled in English‐as‐a‐second‐language classes performed three training sessions in which they recorded three speeches, of 4, 3, and 2 min, respectively. Some students spoke about the same topic three times, whereas others spoke about three different topics. It was found that fluency improved for both groups during training but was maintained on posttests only by the students who repeated their speeches. These students had used more words repeatedly across speeches, most of which were not specifically related to the topic. It is argued that proceduralization of linguistic knowledge represented a change in underlying cognitive mechanisms, resulting in improvements in observable fluency.

In the citing paper
“Accuracy in performance does not guarantee acquisition of fluency, but AEs that provide timing data or assess accuracy in time limited contexts would (cf., de Jong & Perfetti, 2011).”

“task repetition leads to changes in utterance fluency, reflected as speed (e.g., articulation rate), breakdown (e.g., pauses), and repair fluency (e.g., repetitions).”

Experimental — accuracy not yet measuredThe source backs part of the claim, not all of it — or backs it for a different population, condition or comparison.
In the citing paper
“Constant time limit was imposed throughout because increasing time pressure can sometimes reduce the amount of repetition in subsequent performances, which may be considered as a less ideal condition for proceduralization (e.g., de Jong & Perfetti, 2011;de Jong & Tillman, 2018).”

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.
