A Cognitive Approach to Language Learning
TL;DR: In this article, the role of memory and lexical learning in language learning is discussed, and a rationale for task-based instruction is presented, as well as a model of language learning.

Journal ArticleDOI
The Influence of Planning and Task Type on Second Language Performance
Pauline Foster,Peter Skehan +1 more
TL;DR: The study reports strong effects of planning on fluency and clear effects also on complexity, with a linear relationship between degree of planning and degree of complexity, However, a more complex relationship was discovered between planning and accuracy, and interactions were found between task type and planning conditions.
Journal ArticleDOI
Modelling Second Language Performance: Integrating Complexity, Accuracy, Fluency, and Lexis
TL;DR: It is argued that fluency needs to be rethought if it is to be measured effectively, and that the three general measures need to be supplemented by measures of lexical use, and generalizations are reviewed which focus on inter-relationships between the measures.
