Abstract

This quantitative study examined the effects of planning time and high and low language levels on the task-based language performance of 51 first and second grade English language learners. Language performance during the task was assessed in terms of accuracy, complexity and fluency.Quantitative analysis made use of four 2X2 factorial ANOVAs to analyze the language proficiency variables of accuracy, complexity and fluency during task performance. The rationale for collecting quantitative data was that it provided a broader and more balanced understanding of these constructs of language proficiency.
