This study is targeted at investigating the effects of design features of narrative tasks on the oral performance of learners of English as a foreign language (EFL). To this aim, it explored the combined effects of information grounding and inherent task structure on complexity, accuracy, and fluency in participants’ oral production. In doing so, the effects of performing four oral narrative tasks which differed in terms of information grounding and inherent structure on learners’ complexity, accuracy, and fluency in producing English language were examined. Sixty Iranian intermediate-level EFL learners participated in this study. Using a between-groups design, the researchers required each participant to recount one of the narratives on a random basis. The results of one-way analyses of variance (ANOVAs) revealed that participants’ performance in the tightly structured narrative tasks was significantly more accurate and to a great extent more fluent than that in the loosely structured ones. The outcomes also indicated that more syntactic complexity was associated with narratives that had both foreground and background storylines. Additionally and more importantly, it was found that performing a tightly structured narrative in which information is presented in both foreground and background significantly advantages complexity, accuracy, and fluency. The outcomes have certain pedagogical implications for practitioners in EFL context.

    The goals of Asia TEFL are to promote scholarship, disseminate information, and facilitate cross-cultural understanding among persons concerned with the teaching and learning of English in Asia. In order to accomplish this, Asia TEFL will pursue the following goals: 1. To link ELT professionals in joint research on issues and concerns regarding English teaching and learning in the Asian context. 2. To publish an academic journal, The Asia TEFL Journal, as an internationally recognized journal in the field of English language teaching. 3. To host conferences and seminars addressing important issues concerning ELT in Asia. 4. To develop proficiency guidelines and assessment methods designed for the needs of the Asian context. 5. To develop programs for Asian learners and teachers of English to build their English language proficiency and cultural understanding and provide them with the skills required to be efficient English teaching professionals.
