Dimensions of L2 Performance and Proficiency : Complexity, Accuracy and Fluency in SLA.

This chapter presents the results of a study on interlanguage variation. The production of four L2 learners of Italian, tested four times at yearly intervals while engaged in four oral tasks, is compared to that of two native speakers, and analysed with quantitative CAF measures. Thus, time, task ty...
