Abstract

This study investigated phase transitions in EFL students’ speech fluency development using a complex dynamic systems perspective. Two students with different proficiency levels were selected from an intact speaking class. These students learned and practiced specific strategies to improve their speech fluency. Phase transitions were analyzed based on three criteria: sudden jumps, anomalous variance, and qualitative change in the attractor. Number of syllables was used as the speech fluency measure. The results suggest that only the higher-proficiency student underwent one phase transition. These findings imply that a short explicit fluency strategy training intervention could improve the speech fluency development of high-proficiency students in EFL classrooms. The results have implications for theory and pedagogical practice relating to EFL students’ speech fluency development.
英语学习者语言流利性的培养
本研究从复杂动态系统的角度探讨了英语学生言语流利发展的阶段转变。从一个完整的口语班中选出两名熟练程度不同的学生。这些学生学习并练习了具体的策略来提高他们的口语流利度。相变分析基于三个标准:突然跳跃、异常方差和吸引子的质变。以音节数作为言语流畅度的衡量标准。结果表明,只有水平较高的学生经历了一次相变。这些结果表明,短期外显流利策略训练干预可以促进高水平学生在英语课堂上的言语流利性发展。研究结果对外语学生言语流畅性发展的理论和教学实践具有重要意义。
