Abstract: A number of studies have investigated the effects of planning on fluency, complexity, and accuracy of L2 learners' performance.Most previous research has examined the impact of strategic planning on oral production (e.g., Foster & Skehan, 1996;Ortega, 1999), and two studies (Ellis, 1987;Ellis & Yuan, 2005) have analyzed the effects of strategic and online planning on oral and written output.The study reported here investigated the effects of extended online planning on oral and written narratives performed in a sequence.The results show that extended online planning had little effect on oral performance, while it had some effect on written performance.Modality had a great impact on narrative performance.The oral production was more fluent than the written production, but less complex and less accurate.These findings indicated that the sequencing order of speaking first and then writing may be more effective than the reverse order for L2 learners in task-based narrative performance under time pressure.
