Abstract:

After more than 20 years of research, this is the first book-length treatment
of second language task repetition – the repetition of encounters with a task
that involve re-using the same content with the same overall purpose. The
topic links task performance with the growing mastery of both the task and of
relevant language, and constitutes a site with special potential to promote
learning within and across language lessons, and for preparing students for
assessment and of course real-world language performance. The volume assembles
chapters that complement each other in interesting ways: significant
background reviews, studies of patterns of change across task repetition
iterations, and reports on the use and nature of task repetition in language
classes in on-going programmes. Contributors draw on a variety of interpretive
frameworks and report from a range of language educational contexts. The
volume will be of interest to language researchers, teacher educators,
teachers, and students, as well as others interested in the contribution of
task repetition to learning.
