Tasks are frequently used to elicit learner language in second language (L2) research. The
purposes for doing so, however, vary widely, covering a range of theoretical models …

The present study investigates the role of different planning conditions, cognitive task
complexity along±number of elements, and different task types in learners' L2 oral …

Over the last three decades, there has been a surge in the amount of second language (L2)
literature on the role of tasks in language pedagogy (eg, Ellis, 2003; Nunan, 1989; Samuda …

This systematic review aims to explore how task complexity and task sequencing affect the
complexity, accuracy, and fluency (CAF) of second language performance. Through an …
