The Relationship Between Working Memory Capacity and L2 Oral Performance Under Task-Based Careful Online Planning Condition

The study reported in this article aimed to investigate the way working memory capacity (WMC) interacts with careful online planning—a task-based implementation variable—to affect second language (L2) speech production. This issue is important to teachers, because it delves into one of the possible task-based implementation variables and thus could assist them in making empirically informed decisions in the classroom.
