"Comparing the Effect of Individual and Group Pre-Task Planning on EFL Learners’ Accuracy and Complexity in Speaking Parviz Birjandi Professor of Applied Linguistics, Alameh Tabatabayi University, Tehran, Iran Somayeh Alipour MA in TEFL, Islamic Azad University Central Tehran Branch, Iran .
g. , Foster & Skehan, 1996; Wendel, 1997) concluded that planning was not effective on accuracy, nevertheless Wigglesworth (1997), who investigated the effect of planning on the performance of different task types and at different proficiency levels in a language testing context, found that planning led to greater accuracy and complexity only on high-proficiency candidates and generally on the most demanding tasks (e.
Accordingly, in the present study, the researchers compared the effect of individual and group pre-task planning on EFL learners‟ accuracy and complexity in speaking.
Therefore, the researchers were able to reject the null hypothesis that stated there was no significant difference between the effect of individual and group pre-task planning on EFL learners‟ accuracy in speaking.
Therefore, the researchers were also able to reject the second null hypothesis of the research which stated that there was no significant difference between the effect of individual and group pre-task planning on EFL learners‟ complexity in speaking.
With other planning durations, other task types, and with learners at other proficiency levels a different practice might be more effective, and to be able to identify and determine that effective practice extensive research is still required to investigate the interaction among the various factors that 19 influence the quality of pre-task planning and its subsequent effect on EFL learners complexity and accuracy in speaking."
