Abstract	Studies on L1 and L2 productions from the same participants might contribute significantly to language acquisition process. In this study, the researchers investigated read speech pausing patterns in coordinating conjunctions produced by Turkish, Swahili, Hausa, and Arabic speakers of English. The data for the study was collected in two phases; in the first phase, the participants read out a short story in English, and in the second (a follow-up phase), independent sentences were produced in their mother tongues. In total, 2995 pauses in 1498 coordinating conjunctions were measured through Praat, and findings obtained from the data were analyzed by The Paired Samples t-Test. The results showed that pauses differed in favor of the preceding position and differences were observed to be statistically significant. Speakers of the same mother tongue backgrounds performed similar pausing patterns, which could be an important indicator of L1 read speech habits to L2 productions. (As Provided).
