    Annotation Abstract. The paper addresses the problem of pre-task planning advisability for A2 Russian EFL speakers. The research presented examines the structure, breakdown, repair, syntactic complexity, lexical diversity and accuracy of the discourse produced by 37 Russian participants of the English language competition held in Kazan, Russia, in January 2016. The discourse analysis revealed that the pre‐task time is used by A2 EFL speakers not to plan a response but elicit a topic text from the memory thus focusing on form rather than meaning. Hence, in A2 tests prioritizing meaning over form and measuring the ability for spontaneous speech, the one-minute pre-task planning time is viewed as questionable.
    Keywords oral performance, pre-task planning, A2, Russian EFL speakers, discourse.
