Abstract
Complexity and fluency have been the focus of psycholinguistic study, especially related to language productivity. This study investigated how linguistic complexity and fluency of ten L2 learners' oral performance correlate with their writing ability. After creating a written speech, the students' are administered to present the speech via zoom meeting. The recorded speech is transcribed and analyzed along with the written speech. The fluency is investigated using Kormos's (2006) measurements for oral performance and Abdel Latif (2013) for the written text. The finding of this study is reveal that only one of lexical complexity measurement has the sig. (2-tailed) value is not higher than 0.05 (LD=0.034, LS=0.941, and LV=0.674), which means there is a significant difference in lexical density while other measurements are not significantly different between their writing and speaking performance. Regarding the comparison of syntactic complexity, two of five indices of comparing the syntactic complexity of two-language production showed value <0.05 which means these two indices are significantly differ the writing production from the speaking performance. The sig. (2-tailed) value of comparing five indices of syntactic complexity such as MLS, MLT, C/S, VP/T, and CP/ is 0.0023, 0.064, 0.954,0.042 and 0.760, respectively. Concerning the fluency, it is found that the association of speaking fluency and writing fluency is not always in line.
