Abstract: This study examines the "fluency gap" in public speaking between native (L1) and non-native (L2) English speakers through the lens of state anxiety, cognitive interference and mental effort. Employing an empirical design incorporating speech recordings, self-assessments, and audience evaluations, the research seeks to elucidate the cognitive-linguistic mechanisms underlying dysfluencies and inform pedagogical strategies for enhancing L2 public speaking proficiency.
