W. Börner & J. Eckerth (eds.)
Interaction and Cognition in Task-Based Language Learning and Teaching

This edited volume will bring together researchers working within different theoretical frameworks and within a variety of educational contexts. While some contributions seeking to theoretically model Task-based Language Learning and Teaching will be included, the focus will be on empirical studies and methodological aspects of data collection and analysis. These investigations include both experimental and classroom-based studies, product- and process-oriented research, and approaches to qualitative as well as quantitative data. The contributions will cover the following topics:

1. Tasks as a data elicitation instrument in second language acquisition research
2. Tasks as a basic unit in task-based language pedagogy
3. Tasks as a diagnostic tool for learner profiling
4. Tasks in computer-assisted foreign language learning and teaching

The target languages covered so far include English, German, and Spanish. Contributions dealing with other languages are welcome.

Deadline for all contributions: 30/09/2006
