Task Variation in Oral Interaction Tests: Increasing the Reality.
Wigglesworth, Gillian
Prospect, v12 n1 p35-49 May 1997
Investigates effect of task type on resultant candidate discourse and input of the interlocutor. The experimental design ensured an information gap in one of the interview tasks for prospective immigrants to Australia. Findings indicate that candidate discourse differs in quantity and quality between situations when an information gap exists and those in which no gap exists.
