Taking teacher education to task: Exploring the role of teacher education in promoting the utilization of task-based language teaching (2010, background): “…based on the number of recently published books and volumes that focus specifically on TBLT (e.g. Willis, 1996; Bygate, Skehan, & Swain, 2001; Ellis, 2003, 2005; Leaver & Willis, 2004; Nunan, 2004; Edwards & Willis, 2005; Van den Branden, 2006a; Willis & Willis, 2007; Samuda & Bygate, 2008).”
A multifaceted approach to investigating pre-task planning effects on paired oral test performance (2014, background): “In particular, these summative studies usually abandoned detailed analysis of sequences of discourse moves through which learners dealt with tasks, assuming that their performance was essentially the same throughout the task (Samuda & Bygate, 2008).”
Task Complexity, Focus on L2 Constructions, and Individual Differences: A Classroom-Based Study. (2011, background): “language acquisition (SLA) research has seen an enormous growth of interest in the construct of task in recent years (e.g., Bygate, Skehan, & Swain, 2001; Ellis, 2003; Garcı́a Mayo, 2007; Long & Crookes, 1992; Robinson & Gilabert, 2007; Samuda & Bygate, 2008).”
Task-based learning and teaching in China: Secondary school teachers’ beliefs and practices (2014, background): “…(2003, pp. 9–10), for example, highlights six elements of a task (e.g. it has a primary focus on meaning and involves real world language use), while Samuda and Bygate (2008) define a task as ‘a holistic activity which engages language use in order to achieve some nonlinguistic outcome while…”
The Role of Teachers in Task-Based Language Education (2016, unknown): “…Edwards & Willis, 2005; Ellis, 2015; McDonough, 2015; McDonough & Chaikitmongkol, 2007; Müller-Hartmann & Schocker-von Ditfurth, 2011; Samuda, 2001; Samuda & Bygate, 2008; Shehadeh & Coombe, 2012; Van den Branden, 2006, 2009b, 2015a; Van den Branden, Van Gorp, & Verhelst, 2007; Van Gorp & Van den…”
Critical issues in telecollaborative task design (2009, background): “Samuda and Bygate (2008) argue that research studies about task-based learning in general:”
‘I’m still not sure what a task is’: Teachers designing language tasks (2016, background): “Ellis claims that these criteria draw on definitions provided by Bygate et al. (2001), Samuda and Bygate (2008) and Willis (1996).”
The Implementation of Communicative and Task-Based Language Teaching in the Asia-Pacific Region (2011, background): “…tasks, defining them as follows: “[a] task is a holistic activity which engages language use in order to achieve some non-linguistic outcome while meeting a linguistic challenge, with the overall aim of promoting language learning, through process or product or both” (Samuda & Bygate, 2008, p. 69).”
Interaction and instructed second language acquisition (2018, background): “In fact, in the task-based language learning and teaching literature, there has been considerable interest in the characteristics of tasks and the impact of these characteristics on interaction as well as L2 development (e.g. Bygate et al. 2001; Samuda & Bygate 2008; Ellis 2017b).”
TEXT CHARACTERISTICS OF TASK INPUT AND DIFFICULTY IN SECOND LANGUAGE LISTENING COMPREHENSION (2013, background): “…most defi nitions of pedagogic task include—either implicitly or explicitly— activities involving any of the four skills (i.e., reading, writing, speaking, and listening) (e.g., Ellis, 2003 ; Samuda & Bygate, 2008 ), most past research has been directed at the skills of writing and speaking.”
Task-Based Language Learning (2011, methodology): “This is what Samuda and Bygate (2008) referred to as an example of the task-based approach to the use of tasks to organize program delivery and assessment.”
Peer interaction in the foreign language classroom: what factors foster a focus on form? (2010, background): “…on factors related to the task itself, including whether or not the task is focused to some degree on particular forms (Ellis, 2003; Skehan, 2007; Samuda & Bygate, 2008), the complexity of the task (Robinson, 2001, 2007), and the extent to which language elicited by the task matches the…”
