Setting/Interlocuter-Related Variation in Oral Performance of Adult ESL Learners.

Cholewka, Zofia

Australian Review of Applied Linguistics, v18 n1 p129-46 1995

Investigates the influence of the familiarity of the setting/interlocuter factors on the oral task performance of adult intermediate second-language learners. Findings indicate that the unfamiliar setting elicited a significant proportion of language transfer errors than the same task performed in a familiar environment. (23 references) (Author/CK)
