摘要本研究旨在探讨概念映射和预演对伊朗中级英语学习者口语准确性和复杂性的影响。此外，本文还试图比较这两种策略对口语准确性和复杂性的贡献。为此，采用实验研究设计，在伊朗亚苏吉随机选择两所语言学院。通过快速分班测试进行验证和管理。在此基础上，选取60名中级英语学习者，随机分为对照组和概念图组和预演组。最初进行了一次口语前测试。结果表明，两组在这两个变量方面没有显著差异。实验开始了，第一个实验组接受概念映射的指导，第二个实验组接受预演，对照组接受安慰剂。治疗结束后，对各组进行了言语能力的后测。研究发现，概念映射对中级英语学习者的口语准确性和口语复杂性有显著的影响。此外，对数据的分析表明，排练显著提高了准确性。然而，没有迹象表明排练可以显著提高口语的复杂性。最后，我们发现概念图组和排练组在准确性方面没有显著差异，但概念图组在复杂性方面优于排练组。这些发现对口语教学具有重要意义。
Abstract The present study sought to investigate the effect of concept mapping and rehearsal on speaking accuracy and complexity of Iranian intermediate EFL learners. In addition, an attempt was made to make a comparison between the two strategies in terms of their contribution to speaking accuracy and complexity. To this end, using an experimental research design, two language institutes were randomly selected in Yasouj, Iran. A Quick Placement Test was validated and administered. Based on the results, 60 EFL intermediate learners were selected and were randomly assigned to one control and two experimental groups, i.e., the concept mapping group and the rehearsal group. A speaking pre-test was initially administered. The results indicated that the groups were not significantly different in terms of the two variables in question. The experiment began, which involved instruction in concept mapping for the first experimental group, rehearsal for the second experimental group and placebo for the control group. Following the treatment, a post-test of speaking was administered to the groups. The findings were that concept mapping had a statistically significant effect on speaking accuracy and complexity of intermediate EFL learners. In addition, the analysis of the data showed rehearsal significantly improved accuracy. However, there was no indication that rehearsal can significantly improve speaking complexity. Finally, it was revealed that the concept mapping group and the rehearsal group do not show significant differences in terms of accuracy, but the concept map group outperformed the rehearsal group in terms of complexity. These findings have important implications for teaching speaking.
