Abstract
This chapter reconsiders the evaluation of speech rate in identifying features of speaking performance in picture-description speaking task. On the specific case of Taiwanese EFL learners, speech rate is examined from two angles: (a) the classification of numerical value in the unit of words per second (WPS) for the two variables time (T) and speech rate (SR), and (b) the analysis of speech content from data transcription for factors causing variation in speaking performance. Findings revealed there was an interaction between T and SR, indicating that an increase in T would decrease the value of SR. Meanwhile, the analysis of speech content pointed out the impacts of information structure and previous experience on speaking performance, considering the combination with speaking topics and degree of familiarity.
