Levkina, Mayya; Gilabert, Roger – Language Learning & Language Teaching (MS), 2012
This paper examines the impact of task complexity on L2 production. The study increases task complexity by progressively removing pre-task planning time and increasing the number of elements. The combined effects of manipulating these two variables of task complexity simultaneously are also analyzed. Using a repeated measures design, 42…

Gilabert, Roger; Baron, Julia; Llanes, Angels – International Review of Applied Linguistics in Language Teaching (IRAL), 2009
The goal of this study is to investigate the impact of manipulating the cognitive complexity of three different types of oral tasks on interaction. The study first considers the concepts of task complexity and interaction and then examines the specific studies that have looked at the effects of increasing task complexity on conversational…

Gilabert, Roger – International Review of Applied Linguistics in Language Teaching (IRAL), 2007
This paper analyses the effects of manipulating the cognitive complexity of L2 oral tasks on language production. It specifically focuses on self-repairs, which are taken as a measure of accuracy since they denote both attention to form and an attempt at being accurate. By means of a repeated measures design, 42 lower-intermediate students were…
