Abstract

In this study, I explored the effects of pretask planning on the oral performance in monologue tasks of Japanese university students. The participants in this study were 29 first-year Japanese university students. A Latin square design was employed. The participants did a monologue narrative task with four different types of planning: solo-written brainstorming, paired-interactive planning, teacher-led planning, and no planning. For each planning condition, 58 speech samples were analyzed totaling 232 speech samples in all. The speakers’ oral performances were audio recorded and analyzed based on the CAF (complexity, accuracy, and fluency) framework. Multivariate analysis of variance (MANOVA) results indicated that teacher-led planning and pair-work planning had a significant effect on complexity in students’ speaking performance when compared to the no-planning condition. The importance of input-mining and teachers’ roles is discussed. 本研究は、日本人大学生のスピーキングに焦点を当て、モノローグ型タスクを行う前の準備活動(pretask planning)の効果について調査した。研究参加者は29名の大学1年生である。ラテン方格デザインを用いた。モノローグ型のスピーキング・タスクを行う前に、次の準備活動を行った(個別ブレインストーミング、ペアワーク、教師主導型、準備なし)。事前準備活動ごとに、58のスピーチサンプルが分析され、合計で232のスピーチが分析された。録音された音声データは文字起こしされ、CAF指標(complexity, accuracy, fluency)に沿って分析された。多変量分散分析の結果から、学習者は、教師主導とペアワークによる事前準備活動を行うと、より複雑な文章を発することがわかった。タスクを行う前のインプットの効果とタスク活動における教師の役割について教育的な示唆を述べる。
