Fluency in Second Language Testing: Insights From Different Disciplines (2018, methodology): “Finally, the overlap between fluency behavior of speakers in their L1 and their L2 (Bradlow et al., 2017; De Jong et al., 2015; Derwing et al., 2009; Towell & Dewaele, 2005) calls for prudence when using “raw” measures of L2 fluency: part of the variance measured will be caused by underlying traits ”
Rater Experience, Rating Scale Length, and Judgments of L2 Pronunciation: Revisiting Research Conventions (2013, result): “They subsequently received feedback on their practice ratings by comparison with mean scores from a previous study (Derwing et al., 2009).”
Native speakers’ perceptions of fluency and accent in L2 speech (2014, background): “These results are in line with previous studies, in which accent and fluency ratings were correlated (Wennerstrom, 2000; Derwing et al., 2004). The correlation we obtained is (r = −.25), however, is much weaker than previously reported (Derwing et al. (2004) found r = .49). One possible explanation ”
Predicting pauses in L1 and L2 speech: the effects of utterance boundaries and word frequency (2016, unknown): “- 10.1515/iral-2016-9993 Downloaded from PubFactory at 09/05/2016 03:52:29PM via Utrecht University Library In total, from 70 participants, 84599 words were transcribed, 1209 on average per participant (SD 369) with a range from 380 to 2013.”
Linguistic skills and speaking fluency in a second language (2012, background): “Derwing et al. (2004) collected speech samples from 20 beginner Mandarin learners of English. Twentyeight untrained judges rated fluency of the speech samples and it was found that pausing and pruned speech rate (speech rate excluding filled pauses and hesitations) were strongly related to these flu”
Second language fluency: speaking style or proficiency? Correcting measures of second language fluency for first language behavior (2015, methodology): “Derwing et al. (2009) also related measures of L1 ﬂuency to measures of L2 ﬂuency; much like the current study, they found high correlations.”
