Abstract(in Japanese) (See Japanese page)
Abstract(in English) This study reports the results of a lexical analysis and measurement of real-time response latencies in the spontaneous speech of Japanese EFL learners who participated in a short-term (three week) overseas study tour. Thirty-four subjects took the SET-10 Spoken English Test developed by Ordinate Corporation before and after the study tour. This test evaluated the ability of test-takers to understand spoken English and express themselves clearly and appropriately in English. We analyzed the speech data (SET-10 Part E: Open Questions) in terms of (1) lexical points of view such as token, types, and word families, and (2) the response latencies during speech. The results are discussed in terms of cognitive processing in speech production by Japanese EFL learners.
