RECENT PERSPECTIVES ON TASK-BASED LANGUAGE LEAR...

The last three decades have witnessed a growth of interest in research on tasks from various
perspectives and numerous books and collections of articles have been published focusing on the
notion of task and its utility in different contexts. Nevertheless  what is lacking is a
multi-faceted examination of tasks from different important perspectives. This edited volume 
with four sections of three chapters each  views tasks and Task-based Language Teaching (TBLT)
from four distinct (but complementary) vantage points. In the first section  all chapters view
tasks from a cognitive-interactionist angle with each addressing one key facet of either
cognition or interaction (or both) in different contexts (CALL and EFL ESL). Section two hinges
on the idea that language teaching and learning is perhaps best conceptualized  understood  and
investigated within a complexity theory framework which accounts for the dynamicity and
interrelatedness of the variables involved. Viewing TBLT from a sociocultural lens is what
connects the chapters included in the third section. Finally  the fourth section views TBLT
from pedagogical and curricular vantage points.
