Automatizing testing and computation of multiple variations (pruning, normalization…) of L2 utterance fluency metrics, we collected pre/post oral interview responses from N=215 learners of French, and compared each metric’s variation with external proficiency estimates, to determine which operationalizations best predict proficiency and detect very-short-term developmental changes in L2 fluency.

Introduction Dialogue-based computer-assisted language learning (CALL) allows a learner to practice an L2 by discussing with a computer. By offering a fully controllable meaning-focused learning environment, it also allows investigating the effectiveness of different modalities of interaction (Bibauw et al, 2019).

Abstract (as submitted in February 2019) Dialogue-based computer-assisted language learning (CALL) allows a learner to practice an L2 by discussing with a computer. By offering a fully controllable meaning-focused learning environment, it also allows to conduct research on the effectiveness of different modalities of interaction.
