The final study from my PhD Linguistics and English Language, Lancaster Uni is out in IRAL. This is an exploratory study, but we revisited task effects on L2 fluency from the intrinsic cognitive load theory and the dual-process theory (and of course, speech production mechanisms). #OpenAccess doi.org/10.1515/iral-2…
