Description
Summary:This quasi-experimental study investigated the impacts of two instructional conditions, explicit fluency strategy training and implicit task-based instruction, on university English learners in Indonesia. The results revealed that both instructional conditions could not significantly improve participants’ speech fluency, but improvement on oral proficiency reached statistical significance. A degree of variability in participants’ speech fluency development was also found. Both instructional conditions could be applied with potentially complementary effects in Indonesian EFL classrooms.
