Candidates performed a series of narrative tasks whose characteristics, and the conditions under which they were performed, were manipulated, and the impact of these on task performance was analysed. Test-takers recorded their perceptions of the relative difficulty of each task and their attitudes to them. Results offered little support for Skehan’s framework in the context of oral proficiency assessment, and also raise doubts about post hoc estimates of task difficulty by test-takers.
