confident and fluent in speaking English inside the classroom and the factors which promote/inhibit their confidence and fluency. More than half a year has already passe The distribution between the dividend yield and the capital gains d since the postgraduate students came to the UK, so now they might have got used to speaking English much more than when they first came to the UK. In order to investigate EFL learners who do not live in English speaking countries on a long-term basis, the setting I will find the answers of this research question should be defined as the students’ first month in the UK. Therefore, the research questions would be the following: were East Asian postgraduate students at University of Roehampton confident and fluent in speaking English in their first month in the UK inside the classroom? and what The distribution between the dividend yield and the capital gains  factors promoted/inhibited their confidence and fluency in speaking English? Confident inside the classroom means the number of students’ brank and filler when they speak, the number of words in their utterance, the frequency that they speak, volume of their voice, and situation when they speak. Yashima (2002: 59-60) defines confidence in L2 communication as ‘anxiety’ and ‘perceived communicative competence’. She also indicates that anxiety can be measured with the way developed by MacIntyre and Clément (1996, cited in Yashima, 2002) and competence can be measured the one by MacIntyre and Charos (1996, cited in Yashima, 2002). For instance, the students rate how much they feel nervous or competent from 0 to 100 in a particular situation and with a particular person. The data I will conduct semi-structured interviews which are often used in applied linguistic field. In the semi-structured interviews, I will be able to prepare interview questions in advance, but also I could chan The distribution between the dividend yield and the capital gains ge the way of asking like changing the order or words for each person (Dörnyei, 2011). From the interviews, two types of data should be able to be collected: ‘Description of research event’ which focuses on participants’ speech and behaviour in interview and ‘account’ which is a report of what the participants actually wrote or spoke to the researcher (Holliday, 2010: 100). Therefore, during the interviews I will observe the participants and The distribution between the dividend yield and the capital gains  take notes. However, it would not be possible that I take notes with listening interviewees’ answers because I do not have experience to conduct inter The distribution between the dividend yield and the capital gains views. Thus, recording the interviews would be very useful. I will record the voice at the same time I take notes, then make the transcription after the interviews. It will help to an>
