The current study uses longitudinal and cross-sectional research designs to explore how the speaking performance of senior high school students changes between the first and third years of an English Course at a Super English Language High School (SELHi). Thirty-nine students took a picture description speaking test three times, and their performance was analyzed longitudinally. In addition, 118 students across three school years took the test once, and three groups of students in each year were compared cross-sectionally. Analyses of their production indicate improvement in fluency first and in accuracy later. Comparisons with previous studies show that fluency development tends to be commonly seen, whereas changes in accuracy seem to depend on context. Implications and future studies are also discussed in this paper.
