2025 Chapter 2. Task design: A history of resilience and a space for innovation Broadening the Horizon of TBLT: Plenary addresses from the second decade of the International Conference on Task-Based Language Teaching, East, Martin (ed.), pp. 22–40 | Chapter
Task design is serious business for teachers and syllabus designers around the world. Despite the proliferation of TBLT programmes, concerns have been raised about a disconnect existing between research findings and decision-making by teachers. This chapter firstly presents an exploration of… read more
2025 A qualitative and quantitative preliminary analysis of a task design web-based tool and its applications for teacher education Teacher Education for Task-Based Language Teaching, Gutiérrez, Xavier, Lara Bryfonski and Greg Ogilvie (eds.), pp. 285–315 | Article
Task-based language teaching (TBLT) has been consolidated as a research-based teaching perspective over the last four decades. At its core, task and materials design have been identified as key to successful task-based implementation (Bryfonski, forthcoming). Yet teachers are often left to their… read more
2024 A task-based needs analysis of primary school-aged children with migrant or refugee backgrounds in Austria TASK 4:2, pp. 202–240 | Article
In this study, we report on a task-based needs analysis (TBNA) for primary school-aged newcomers to Austria. 31% of Austria’s primary school students learn German as L2 and thus a systematic analysis of their language learning needs is crucial. Semi-structured interviews were conducted and a… read more
2024 Task design, needs analysis, and task sequencing: An interview with Aleksandra Malicka and Roger Gilabert TASK 4:1, pp. 5–22 | Interview
In this interview, Kris Van den Branden (TASK Co-Editor) and Matt Coss (TASK Editorial Assistant) invited international experts Dr. Roger Gilabert and Dr. Aleksandra Malicka to discuss their scholarship and recent thinking on areas of TBLT including needs analysis, syllabus design, task… read more
2020 Chapter 6. The effects of task repetition across modalities and proficiency levels Writing and Language Learning: Advancing research agendas, Manchón, Rosa M. (ed.), pp. 121–144 | Chapter
Research on task repetition (TR) has consistently showed beneficial effects for L2 oral production in terms of CAF measures (complexity, accuracy, and fluency). However, open questions exist regarding the modality-dependency and proficiency-dependency of TR learning affordances. To advance… read more
2020 Chapter 8. Task modality, communicative adequacy and CAF measures: The moderating role of task complexity Writing and Language Learning: Advancing research agendas, Manchón, Rosa M. (ed.), pp. 183–206 | Chapter
In this study we looked into the learning affordances of task modalities as mediated by task complexity. A group of intermediate learners performed an argumentative task with two levels of complexity orally and in writing and their performance was rated for adequacy, and assessed in terms of the… read more
2018 Chapter 7. Independently measuring cognitive complexity in task design for interlanguage pragmatics development Task-Based Approaches to Teaching and Assessing Pragmatics, Taguchi, Naoko and YouJin Kim (eds.), pp. 159–190 | Chapter
This study examines the effects of task design on interlanguage pragmatics, bringing together task complexity and L2 pragmatic outcomes measured holistically. Fifteen expert judges were asked independently to assess task complexity and to evaluate the pragmatic performance of 60 EFL learners who… read more
2013 3. The impact of increasing task complexity on L2 pragmatic moves Second Language Interaction in Diverse Educational Contexts, McDonough, Kim and Alison Mackey (eds.), pp. 45–70 | Chapter
The study measures the impact of increasing cognitive task demands on the use of L2 learners’ pragmatic moves. L2 Spanish/Catalan learners of English (n = 36) were grouped into pairs and performed two types of problem-solving tasks. Task complexity was independently measured by means of a learners’… read more
2012 The effects of cognitive task complexity on L2 oral production Dimensions of L2 Performance and Proficiency: Complexity, Accuracy and Fluency in SLA, Housen, Alex, Folkert Kuiken and Ineke Vedder (eds.), pp. 171–198 | Article
This paper examines the impact of task complexity on L2 production. The study increases task complexity by progressively removing pre-task planning time and increasing the number of elements. The combined effects of manipulating these two variables of task complexity simultaneously are also… read more
2011 Chapter 5. Manipulating task complexity across task types and modes Second Language Task Complexity: Researching the Cognition Hypothesis of language learning and performance, Robinson, Peter (ed.), pp. 105–138 | Chapter
This paper reports on the impact of manipulating cognitive task complexity on L2 production across task types and across modes. Specifically, the paper presents results from two separate but interrelated studies. The first study measured the impact of manipulating the cognitive demands of tasks… read more
