Language Output, Communication Strategies, and Communicative Tasks : In the Chinese Context

This innovative book examines the relationship between foreign (L2) language acquisition and task-based learning from an output perspective, with a concentration on the learner's discourse and retrospection.

Author Cynthia Lee explores this issue in an experimental context; with particular reference to Hong Kong Chinese tertiary learners of English.

Lee's study contributes to research on L2 acquisition and casts light on task-based learning and pedagogy in Hong Kong classrooms and beyond.

English language teaching practitioners, researchers, and applied linguists will find special value in this book.
