即席演講中演講表現之分析

Instructional Implications from an Impromptu Speech Contest

這篇文章用質性研究方式探討在台灣即席演講技巧純熟者（skilled speakers）與技巧不熟練者（unskilled speakers）之差異。作者針對“溝通能力”（communicative competence）分類來分析即席演講中的表現（performance）並探討第二外語發音習得（L2 pronunciation acquisition）。結果顯示溝通能力端賴於整理表現而非個別的特質，發音環節特徵（suprasegmentalfeatures）特別是引人注目的。此外，此篇研究並探討相關的教學啟示。

This article reports on a qualitative study of an impromptu speech event in the Taiwanese foreign language context analyzing skilled speakers and unskilled speakers, in which the author analyzes different aspects of communicative competence according to their performance. L2 pronunciation acquisition will be discussed from the perspectives of communicative competence. Results suggest that communicative competence is determined by the overall performance, rather than individual features and that suprasegmental features especially stand out in the performance. Some research implications are also discussed.
