本研究比较了在实验室环境中录制的学生音频日记与使用移动音频设备录制的学生音频日记的流畅度特征。四十名研究生在美国大学注册了四门口语交流课程，每周录制音频日记，为期 10 周。学生选择录制这些日记的环境，前提是他们在音频实验室至少录制一次并且至少使用移动音频设备录制一次。观察首选记录环境的频率。两名独立评估者根据焦虑对流畅性的可观察影响对学生的音量、停顿、话语长度和速率进行评分，以确定这两种环境下的流畅性是否存在显着差异。讨论了对语言学习的影响。
This study compares characteristics of fluency in student audio journals recorded in a laboratory setting with those recorded using mobile audio devices. Forty graduate students enrolled in four oral communication courses at an American university recorded weekly audio journals for a 10-week term. Students chose the environment in which they recorded these journals, provided that they recorded at least once in the audio laboratory and at least once using the mobile audio devices. The frequency of preferred recording environment was observed. Two independent raters assigned rank scores to the students' volume, pausing, utterance length, and rate in relation to the observable influence of anxiety upon fluency in order to determine if there is a significant difference between fluency in these two environments. Implications for language learning are discussed.
