Means and Standard Deviations of Translation Fluency from 100 EFL Learners

Means and standard deviations of fluency and other performance metrics from a study of 106 English as a foreign language learners in China. The data was collected by Xiangyan Zhou and published on figshare in May 2026. It examines the joint influence of task complexity and translation anxiety on written translation performance.

Use Cases

• Analyzing the relationship between task complexity and translation fluency based on the described performance measures.
• Investigating the moderating role of translation anxiety on process efficiency outcomes mentioned in the study.
• Modeling translation performance predictors based on the conceptual framework integrating task-related and learner factors.
• Benchmarking translation quality and efficiency metrics for pedagogical tool development.

Strengths

• Data is derived from a structured study with 106 participants and 100 final analyses.
• Performance was assessed using multiple measures for both process efficiency and product quality.
• Published under a permissive CC-BY-4.0 license for reuse.

Limitations

• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
• The dataset is very small at 5.5 KB, indicating limited scope.
