Multiword sequences do not predict speaking proficiency in dialogue: A pair‐level analysis

open access: yesThe Modern Language Journal, EarlyView.
Abstract This study revisited the commonly held view that the use of multiword sequences (MWSs) is a reliable predictor of L2 speaking proficiency in monologue, by extending the investigation from monologic to dialogic speaking contexts. We accessed dialogic performance data from 127 test‐takers of the Test of English for Educational Purposes assessed ...
