Abstract:
Understanding how second language task-based performance can be raised is
vital for progress with task-based approaches to instruction. The chapters in
this volume all attempt to advance this understanding, and do so within a
viewpoint which assumes limited attentional capacities and accounts for second
language speaking based on Levelt's model of first language speaking. Six
empirical chapters present original studies. They explore the topics of task
planning, familiarity of information in a task, task repetition, task
characteristics, and the effects of using post-task transcription. The studies
interweave with and build upon each other, reflecting their conjoint focus on
how second language learning memory and attention limitations shape their
performance in using the target language. In the concluding chapter the
accumulated findings across these studies are discussed in terms of the nature
of preparation for a task, the role of task structure, the respective claims
of the Tradeoff and Cognition Hypotheses, the role of selective attention, and
the implications of the studies for pedagogy. The book is a central reference
for students in psycholinguistics, second language acquisition, and task-based
language teaching.
