Abstract:

The last three decades have witnessed a growth of interest in research on
tasks from various perspectives and numerous books and collections of articles
have been published focusing on the notion of task and its utility in
different contexts. Nevertheless, what is lacking is a multi-faceted
examination of tasks from different important perspectives. This edited
volume, with four sections of three chapters each, views tasks and Task-based
Language Teaching (TBLT) from four distinct (but complementary) vantage
points. In the first section, all chapters view tasks from a
cognitive-interactionist angle with each addressing one key facet of either
cognition or interaction (or both) in different contexts (CALL and EFL/ESL).
Section two hinges on the idea that language teaching and learning is perhaps
best conceptualized, understood, and investigated within a complexity theory
framework which accounts for the dynamicity and interrelatedness of the
variables involved. Viewing TBLT from a sociocultural lens is what connects
the chapters included in the third section. Finally, the fourth section views
TBLT from pedagogical and curricular vantage points.
