Abstract

Abstract

En 中文
The article examines task as research construct as predominantly conceived in terms of task-as-workplan in the task-based learning/second language acquisition literature. It is suggested that task has weak construct validity and ontology in an overwhelmingly quantitative paradigm because the construct has a split personality. Conceptualization is based on the task-as-workplan, but data are gathered from the task-in-process. The article adopts a conversation analysis perspective and demonstrates that the two can be very different. It is proposed that a secure basis for task as research construct and for the quantification of discoursal data is attainable only by switching the conceptual and methodological focus to task-in-process.
