• Resumen

  • This study analyses the influence of Spanish and/or Catalan (L1) on English (L2) oral production of adult learners of English as a foreign language (EFL) under three different task conditions. The analysis focuses on L1 uses found at the lexical level in an interview, a picture description/narration, and a role-play. The data were codified for both number of L1 uses (against the total number of turns per subject) and types of L1 uses, both adapted and non-adapted, with a total of twelve different categories. Statistical analysis of the results showed significant task-related differences in some L1 uses, specifically between the narration and the other two tasks.
