A Longitudinal Study Of The Development Of Fluency Of Novice Japanese Learners: Analysis Using Objective Measures, Saori M. Houston

Open Access Theses

Fluency has been studied extensively in ESL and EFL mainly to determine what spoken features are characteristics of fluent speech by comparing students who participated in study abroad programs with those who did not.

Des Bouches Des Cadiens, Lily Keener

Faculty Curated Undergraduate Works
