4. TC and Curriculum design starting point: two questions
(1) What do we want tasks to do? How do we want tasks to be helpful to learners? Can this specific task do this?
(2) How can we sequence tasks in an optimal way? How can we vary the degree of complexity of tasks? In what order do we offer tasks to learners?
5. What do we expect of tasks? Distinction between two kinds of tasks
extension of knowledge, interlanguage development, enhanced intake and retention of input (papers 1 & 2)
better, faster access to existing knowledge, enhanced performativity, automatising (paper 3)
6. How can we sequence tasks? What makes a task difficult or easy?
Can we design a more difficult and an easier version of a task?
How do we sequence tasks?
Developmental tasks before automatization tasks?
Difficult tasks always after easy tasks?
Paper 1: single/dual task
Paper 3: +/- elements, +/- reasoning demands
7. Construct Task complexity operationalization: different proposals (Robinson, Skehan & Foster, Nunan, Candlin)
