Cognitive Task Complexity and Second Language Performance provides an overview of research focusing on the effects of cognitive task complexity (CTC) on second language (L2) performance. The edited volume brings together renowned scholars in the field who present data-driven insights into the intricate relationships between CTC and L2 performance, drawing on a combination of empirical studies and theoretical analyses.Each section summarizes the intersection of task complexity frameworks and models of second language production; synthesizes critical issues and research findings; and moves beyond the routine discussion of task complexity features and models of speaking, extending the discussion to the interface of task complexity features and (a) learner engagement, (b) virtual interaction, and (c) corpus linguistics. It also delves into the interface of CTC and technology, exploring how digital tools and resources can enhance task complexity and ultimately impact L2 performance. Overall, this edited volume not only consolidates the existing research on CTC and L2 performance but also highlights areas that require further investigation.In charting a course for future research and pedagogy, the book is a valuable resource for students, scholars, researchers, and practitioners seeking to deepen their understanding of CTC and its impact on second language acquisition.

This book provides an overview of the role of cognition in L2 writing in order to equip educators with the knowledge and tools necessary to nurture more robust learning experiences in L2 writing instruction.The book explores the current multifaceted terrain of cognition in L2 writing, tackling various dimensions, including the potential for learning during the writing and revision stages, the influence of cognitive processes and strategies during these stages, and the application of cognition-based research in instructed second language acquisition contexts. It offers educators theoretically driven and empirically supported insights to enrich writing instruction across diverse educational levels, contexts, proficiency levels, genres, and writing conditions.This edited collection is a valuable resource for graduate students, scholars, and researchers seeking to deepen their understanding of cognition and its impact on second language writing.
