Abstract

This paper reports a study conducted to explore the relationship of task complexity and L2 writing. Task complexity was varied on one dimension: presence (absence) of the pre-tasks. The results showed that when pre-tasks were administered to students (15 M. Phil students), structural complexity and lexical variety of student writing increased. It is, therefore argued that writing tasks in classroom should be preceded by pre-tasks which help with organization and content.
前任务在第二语言写作中的作用
本文报道了一项旨在探讨任务复杂性与二语写作之间关系的研究。任务复杂性在一个维度上发生变化:前任务的存在(不存在)。结果表明,当对学生(15名哲学硕士学生)进行预任务时,学生写作的结构复杂性和词汇多样性增加了。因此,有人认为,在课堂写作任务之前,应该有有助于组织和内容的预任务。
