SUMMARY:

 

Research shows that strategic planning may be an ally in the development of bilingual learners’ oral production. Therefore, this study aims to investigate the effect of planning and of metacognitive strategies on oral production in L2. In this work, we chose calibration as the metacognitive strategy to be evaluated and we measured it by the correspondence between the individual's degree of perception in a task in relation to their actual performance in it. In this sense, this research intends to verify how different types of planning (no-planning, individual planning and planning in pairs) may impact bilingual learners’ oral production (in terms of accuracy, weighted lexical density, fluency and outcome), to analyze the role of calibration in the development of these learners' oral production and to identify which metacognitive strategies are part of this process. The study consisted of 63 Portuguese-English bilingual learners. All participants answered a questionnaire about personal information, performed three oral production tasks, gave themselves a grade for each proposed task and answered a questionnaire about the metacognitive strategies used in the oral productions. Results indicate that, in what concerns fluency, there was significant impact of planning in pairs and that, in this type of planning, learners also showed greater degree of confidence in the success of their oral production. However, individual planning resulted in learners having more adjusted calibration of their oral productions. With regard to accuracy, weighted lexical density and outcome, planning individually or in pairs does not seem to have made a difference in learners' oral production. Furthermore, the findings regarding the participants' perceptions suggest that they used different planning strategies, such as building a speech sequence in their head and using paper and pen, and considered planning in pairs to be more beneficial to the development of their oral productions.
