Abstract	Language, especially second language (L2), performance may be broken into linguistic subcomponents, including complexity, accuracy, and fluency (CAF). These subcomponents of language performance have been of increased interest in second language development (SLD). Generally, the objective in L2 learning is to master all three CAF subcomponents. In a cognitive framework of SLD, limited attentional resources inhibit learners from attending to all CAF components simultaneously. A focus on one CAF component may compromise a learner's performance in another CAF component, which has been called trade-off effects. One goal of this study is to describe the development of oral language performance as measured by CAF. In order to investigate the development of CAF, this study analyzed the linguistic performance from individual learners during multiple topic-based speeches, which were given over time in an intensive English program (IEP).
