目前的研究是一项纵向研究，探讨超级英语语言高中 (SELHi) 英语课程中高中生从一年级到二年级的口语表现在一年（具体为 13 个月）内的变化。经常接触英语输入并经常使用英语的39名日本英语学习者（20名男生和19名女生）参加了两次图片描述口语测试。对他们言语的分析表明，他们的口语表现有了显着的进步。具体来看，句法复杂性、词汇复杂性等方面均出现了中等程度或较大程度的变化，此外，在说出的字数、说话时间、流畅性、准确性等方面也有一定程度的提高（如无错误从句比例的增加）。
The current research is a longitudinal study that probes how speaking perfbrmance of senior high school students changes across a year (specifically 13 months) from the first year to the second year at an English Course at a Super English Language High School (SELHi). Thirty-nine japanese learners of English (20 male and 19 female students), who were frequently exposed to English input and often used English, took a speaking test of picture description twice. Analyses of their utterances show substantial progress in speaking performance. To bc specific, ali the aspects tested in syntactic complcxity and Iexical complexity changed to a moderate or large degree, In addition, there was also improvement in some aspects of the number of uttered words and speaking time, fluency, and ac ¢ uracy (e.g., an increase in the proportion oferror-free clauses).
