The aim of this volume is to illustrate the benefits of collaborative dialogue. The volume considers several crucial issues dealing with collaborative tasks such as the notions of mutuality, ownership, outcome and implementation (both online and face-to-face). All chapters feature data from several experimental studies illustrating learner collaboration in second/foreign language settings.

This volume addresses TBLT from various perspectives and aims to reflect the epistemological diversity in this area by drawing on multiple perspectives (i.e. cognitive-interactionist, complexity theory, sociocultural theory, and pedagogical/curricular). The volume brings together different ideas and theoretical frameworks and showcases distinct but complementary approaches to TBLT that could help the area prosper and mature in the future.

Since the introduction of communicative language teaching, collaborative learning has played an important role in the second language (L2) classroom. Drawing from sociocultural theory, which states that human cognitive development is a socially situated activity mediated by language, studies in L2 pedagogy advocate the use of tasks that require learners to work together. Collaborative dialogue encourages language learning, and research shows t...

This book brings together research that makes use of tasks to examine oral interaction, written production, vocabulary and reading, lexical innovation and pragmatics in different formal language learning contexts and in different languages (English, French, German, Italian and Spanish).

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 Langu...
