Second Language Task Complexity: Researching the Cognition Hypothesis of language learning and performance
Edited by Peter Robinson
Understanding how task complexity affects second language learning, interaction and spoken and written performance is essential to informed decisions about task design and sequencing in TBLT programs. The chapters in this volume all examine evidence for claims of the Cognition Hypothesis that… read more[Task-Based Language Teaching, 2] 2011. xii, 345 pp.
Individual Differences and Instructed Language Learning
Edited by Peter Robinson
Second language learners differ in how successfully they adapt to, and profit from, instruction. This book aims to show that adaptation to L2 instruction, and subsequent L2 learning, is a result of the interaction between learner characteristics and learning contexts. Describing and explaining… read more[Language Learning & Language Teaching, 2] 2002. xii, 387 pp.
2015 The Cognition Hypothesis, second language task demands, and the SSARC model of pedagogic task sequencing Domains and Directions in the Development of TBLT: A decade of plenaries from the international conference, Bygate, Martin (ed.), pp. 87–122 | Article
This chapter first summarises the basic pedagogic claim of the Cognition Hypothesis, that the cognitive demands of tasks be sequenced from simple to complex for learners, and describes a theoretically motivated model for syllabus designers and teachers to follow in planning and implementing such… read more
2011 Chapter 1. Second language task complexity, the Cognition Hypothesis, language learning, and performance Second Language Task Complexity: Researching the Cognition Hypothesis of language learning and performance, Robinson, Peter (ed.), pp. 3–38 | Chapter
This chapter provides an overview of pedagogic and theoretical issues that have motivated recent research into second language task complexity. The first two sections describe how procedures for task analysis, and decisions about task complexity, can be accommodated in task-based language teaching… read more

2009 Language typology, task complexity and the development of L2 lexicalization patterns for describing motion events Annual Review of Cognitive Linguistics: Volume 7, Ruiz de Mendoza Ibáñez, Francisco José (ed.), pp. 245–276 | Article
The present paper focuses on the acquisition of L2 constructions for the expression of motion from a typological (Cadierno, 2008; Talmy, 1985, 1991, 2000) and a psycholinguistic perspective with implications for pedagogy (Robinson, 2003a, 2007; Robinson & Gilabert, 2007a, 2007b). Specifically, we… read more
