Interaction and instructed second language acquisition (2018, background): “Apart from interlocutor characteristics, there are numerous task features that may impact interaction (e.g. Doughty & Pica 1986; Robinson 2001; Pica 2005; Keck et al. 2006; Pica, Kang & Sauro 2006; Kim 2008; Tavakoli & Foster 2008; Jenks 2009; Kormos & Trebits 2012).”
Second language speech production: Investigating linguistic correlates of comprehensibility and accentedness for learners at different ability levels (2016, background): “…on the nature of a speaking task (e.g., Foster & Skehan, 1996), the degree to which a speaking task is structured or scaffolded with supporting information (e.g., Tavakoli & Foster, 2008), and the presence of planning or preparation opportunities available to L2 speakers (e.g., Yuan & Ellis, 2003).”
Effects of task repetition on learners’ attention orientation in L2 oral production (2016, background): “The priorities are considered to be manipulable by repetition, pre-task planning, and manipulating the task takers’ familiarity and strength of tasks’ story line (e.g. Bygate, 1996, 1999; Foster & Skehan, 1996; Skehan, 1998; Skehan & Foster, 1999; Tavakoli & Foster, 2008).”
