M1: Yeh
M2: United States.
M1: Good English but difficult to understand. heh heh
M2: heh heh
M1: Class getting more difficult? Getting more-
M2: I think I think English is getting more difficult because high school English is reading sentence from the textbook so so in fifty fifty minutes it it we can’t read small sentences but in but I become university student in this university’s English so we should read many sentence and have one class, so I think English is become more difficult.
M1: English. ↓ My English teacher in my high school is (.) so so↑ difficult. And uh (.) My ronin teacher is difficult, heh so the college English is difficult but (.) so there is not uh (.) I think uh it isn’t my this college English is difficult isn’t much more difficult this college English class than my high school class, English class. So I think math is getting more difficult. (Japanese) is very difficult.
M2: I think so.
M1: I don’t like I didn’t like math three, math three in high school student, in my high school so (Japanese) is very difficult I believe. (.) heh heh (3.7) uh other class is getting more easy than high school, so when I (.) I high school student, I get fifty or sixty (.) score in in test, so this college I get high more high score so I feel getting more easy. Heh heh.
Comments
This discussion between Shunichiro and Koki shows a fairly typical interaction for participants at this level. Acoustic, lexical and syntactical dysfluency are quite low and the MLRs are almost native-like 29.0 and 20.6 for Koki. In fact, there are few minimal responses; in addition, the amount of silence is also low, 5.0% or 38.5 seconds, with no cross-talk pausing. The speaking rate is average for Shunichiro (80.3) and a bit higher for Koki (104.2), and while Shunichiro does have a bit too much repetition (31 occurrences) there is no retracing on his part. Shuniricho has a higher number of words compared to Koki, 610 to 434. In short, this reflects a fairly high level of fluency for participants at this level of proficiency.
