This study investigates the effects of varying the duration of pre-task planning (30 seconds, 3 minutes, 5 minutes) and English language anxiety on speaking performance in a Computer-Based Test(CBT). The study involved 57 participants from a university in Korea, who completed speaking tasks under different planning conditions and completed an anxiety survey. The findings indicated that extended planning time notably enhances discourse quality, with significant improvements in accuracy observed after 5 minutes of planning. Additionally, a decrease in vocabulary usage was correlated with higher anxiety levels, particularly under the shortest planning time condition(30 seconds), suggesting that anxiety can harmfully impact performance, an effect reduced by longer planning duration. Lastly, it was also found that there was a significant trade-off relationship between accuracy and complexity during the 3-minute planning condition. The results suggest that providing extended planning time and incorporating anxiety-reducing strategies, especially for shorter planning durations, can enhance speaking performance. Additionally, adjusting planning time in test design can help balance accuracy and complexity in evaluating speaking skills.
