Second Language Task-Based Performance is the first book to synthesize Peter
Skehan’s theoretical and empirical contributions all in one place. With three
distinct themes explored in each section (theory, empirical studies, and
assessment), Skehan’s influential body of work is organized in such a way that
it provides an updated reflection on the material and makes it relevant to
today’s researchers. Also in each section, an early publication is matched by at
least one later publication, followed by a newly written commentary chapter,
the combination of which provides the important function of offering a wider-
ranging discussion. This book is an invaluable resource for researchers
interested in second language task-based research or SLA more generally.
Peter Skehan is an Honorary Research Fellow at Birkbeck College, University
of London, and has taught at universities in the UK, Hong Kong, and New
Zealand. He is interested in second language acquisition, particularly task-
based performance, language aptitude, and language testing. He is a recipient
of the International Association of Task-Based Language Teaching
Distinguished Achievement award.
Second Language Acquisition Research Series
Susan M. Gass and Alison Mackey, Series Editors
The Second Language Acquisition Research series presents and explores issues
bearing directly on theory construction and/or research methods in the study
of second language acquisition. Its titles (both authored and edited volumes)
provide thorough and timely overviews of high-interest topics, and include
key discussions of existing research findings and their implications. A special
emphasis of the series is reflected in the volumes dealing with specific data
collection methods or instruments. Each of these volumes addresses the kinds
of research questions for which the method/instrument is best suited, offers
extended description of its use, and outlines the problems associated with its
use. The volumes in this series will be invaluable to students and scholars
alike, and perfect for use in courses on research methodology and in
individual research.
