Sažetak
The main goal of this study was to find out how L2 learners allocate their attentional resources for speech monitoring in different task types, thus providing an insight into their self-repair behaviour. The retelling of a predetermined chronological order of events resulted in a significantly higher rate of syntactic repairs compared to all other tasks. Namely, the learners displayed a tendency to monitor erroneous syntactic structures, to interrupt them, and to “withdraw“ from situations in which they became aware of the difficulties in preparing the message under time pressure. Also, in the predetermined retelling task the learners aimed to monitor their speech for morphological aspects in comparison to other tasks. For this reason, tasks based on retelling a story with a predetermined chronological order of events might enhance learners' conscious attention toward speech monitoring which is necessary for learning to take place.
