OverviewTask Sequencing and Instructed Second Language Learning provides theoretical rationales for, and empirical studies of, the effects of sequencing language learning tasks to maximize second language learning. Examples of task sequences, and both laboratory and classroom-based research into them, are presented. This is the first collection of so far under-researched studies on the effects of task sequencing, framed within the Cognition Hypothesis of Task-based Language Teaching (TBLT) and the SSARC model for task sequencing. Perspectives include -- laboratory-based and classroom-based research designs -- implications for teacher training -- laboratory and classroom research methods -- conversational interaction -- task sequencing and Task Based Language Teaching syllabus design Full Product DetailsAuthor: Melissa Baralt (Florida International University, USA) , Roger Gilabert (Universitat de Barcelona, Spain) , Peter Robinson (Aoyama Gakuin University, Japan)Publisher: Bloomsbury Publishing Plc Imprint: Bloomsbury Academic USA Dimensions: Width: 15.60cm , Height: 2.00cm , Length: 23.40cm Weight: 0.526kg ISBN: 9781623562762ISBN 10: 1623562767 Pages: 256 Publication Date: 31 July 2014 Audience: College/higher education , Professional and scholarly , Tertiary & Higher Education , Professional & Vocational Format: Hardback Publisher's Status: Active Availability: Manufactured on demand  We will order this item for you from a manufactured on demand supplier.
