Abstract(in English) If audio conferencing is difficult for native speakers, then it is extremely difficult for non-native speakers. Audio conferencing is particularly difficult for non-native speakers because they have to cope both with imperfect audio signals and imperfect language skills. Previous research has shown that non-native speakers need to pay extra time and effort when recovering from missed conversation contexts under adverse audio conditions. In this paper, we focus on such extra time required for non-native speakers and examine whether inserting short silent periods between conversational turns helps their communication abilities.
