| Abstract(in English) | Simple Performance-Oriented Test (SPOT) has been used as a quick indicator of proficiency in Japanese as a second language in a variety of context. The present study examined whether the SPOT can quickly estimate procedural or partly automatized grammatical knowledge rather than declarative knowledge. Results from the multiple regression analysis showed that ratings in ACTFL's Oral Proficiency Interview were significantly predicted by the scores in the SPOT but not by the scores in the vocabulary test. These results suggest that 1) procedural or automatized grammatical knowledge underlies in spontaneous oral performance, and that 2) SPOT can estimate automaticity of grammatical knowledge with ease and precision. |
