| Summary: | Using Swain’s (1985) output hypothesis as a basis, this article investigated the effect an immediate repeated oral task had on the performance of participants. Two groups of beginner learners of English as an additional language in Brazil performed a decision-making oral task in groups. Drawing from Lynch and MacLean’s (2001) carousel task, the learners changed groups and repeated the oral task in three successive cycles. A qualitative analysis of two learners’ oral production is discussed in terms of accuracy. Furthermore, their perception on the immediate repeated task is also examined. |
