This book is intended for teachers and students of applied linguistics.
Focusing on empirical studies, this volume explores the role of pedagogical tasks in second language learning, examining their structure, impact on students, and implementation by teachers. It begins with an overview of the relevant background and key issues, followed by three distinct sections that delve into various aspects of task-based pedagogy, providing insights into effective teaching strategies and their outcomes in language acquisition.
Understanding the way in which learners differ from one another is of fundamental concern to those involved in second-language acquisition, either as researchers or teachers. This account is the first to review at book length the important research into differences, considering matters such as aptitude, motivation, learner strategies, personality and interaction between learner characteristics and types of instruction.
