Abstract:

Theoretically motivated, empirical research into task-based language learning 
has been prompted by proposals for task-based language teaching. These 
proposals aim to design and deliver task-based units of instruction that optimize 
the time learners spend in instructional programs, and so speed their exit from 
them. This volume contains papers addressing issues in task-based research 
into second language learning which are essential to informed pedagogic 
decision-making about how best to achieve this aim. These issues include 
research into the design characteristics of pedagogic tasks that promote the 
accuracy, fluency and complexity of learner language; the role of individual 
differences in the motivational and other cognitive variables that demands made 
by pedagogic tasks draw on; the extent to which tasks, and teacher 
interventions during task performance, promote the quantity and quality of 
interaction that facilitate L2 learning; and the generalizability of task-based 
research in laboratory contexts to classroom settings.
