Abstract:

This book examines the use of tasks in second language instruction in a
variety of international contexts, and addresses the need for a better
understanding of how tasks are used in teaching and program-level
decision-making. The chapters consider the key issues, examples, benefits and
challenges that teachers, program designers and researchers face in using
tasks in a diverse range of contexts around the world, and aim to understand
practitioners’ concerns with the relationship between tasks and performance.
They provide examples of how tasks are used with learners of different ages
and different proficiency levels, in both face-to-face and online contexts. In
documenting these uses of tasks, the authors of the various chapters
illuminate cultural, educational and institutional factors that can make the
effective use of tasks more or less difficult in their particular context.
