2008Previous research shows that pausing and disfluencies are
common in non-native speech. The aim of this study was to
investigate the relationship between fluency and pausing in
Russian read-aloud speech of 12 Finnish university students
and examine their fluency development during a 3.5-month
study-period in Russia. To assess fluency, 30 Russian teachers
rated the students’ speech samples (on a 1–5 scale). The
samples were then analysed perceptually and acoustically for
pause frequency, duration and placement. Results show that
pausing can be an indicator of foreign language fluency and
that most students develop considerably in their Russian readaloud
fluency during their stay in Russia. Hence, when
teaching students to read aloud in a foreign language, pausing
should be emphasized as a way to become a fluent reader.
