ABSTRACT

This study aims to evaluate the relationship between the four different assessment types and constructs of each assessment in the speaking fluency of L2 Korean learners. This study classified the concept of fluency into two categories and set assessment types and constructs based on the previous studies Four different types of assessment are HA(Holistic Assessment), AA(Analytic Assessment), NA(Narrow meaning of fluency Assessment), and IA(Individual assessment of raters). Sixty-one intermediate-level Korean learners participated the study and they were asked to summarize the 10-minute maim comedy, ’Mr. Bean’. The recorded summaries were evaluated by five Korean lectures who had over three years teaching experience. Results revealed that all assessment types have relationship each other, but NA has slightly lower relationship than the other assessment types. There is no significant correlation between the number of speaking syllables and the frequency of pause and interjection. Also, the frequency of incorrect start, repetition, and reconstruction has no significant correlation with other factors except for the number of speaking syllables. Except for the factors mentioned above, the other assessment constructs has a significant correlation with each other.
