چکیده

Planning is among the processes involved in performing an oral task (Ellis, 2003). It has been viewed as a crucial element in the process of SLA. According to Ellis (2005) there are two major types of task planning: pre-task and online. Pre-task planning takes place before performing the actual task (Ellis, 2005). Online planning on the other hand, occurs during the time the task is in process (Ellis, 2005). In this regard, the current study aims to investigate the impact of preparation time on syntactic complexity, grammatical range, and coherence of Iranian test-takers performance on the speaking tasks of TOEFL iBT. Two gropus of ten test-takers will be asked to complete the six speaking tasks of TOEFL iBT. For the first group, the preparation and response time will be exactly the same as those of actual TOEFL iBT. However, the preparation time for the second group will be integrated with the response time. In other words the first group will have the opportunity for pre-task planning, while, the second group will have the opportunity for online-task planning. The researcher predicts that no significant effect would be detected among the two groups as the stress and pressure which govern the test-takers do not let them make significant advantage of the very short preparation time which they are provided with by the test rubrics.
