The Role of Task Complexity And Task Motivation In Language Production

This study investigates the relationship between the cognitive demands of task complexity and learners’ task motivation using task-based instruction during asynchronous computer-mediated communication (ACMC) writing tasks. Eighty-eight participants were assigned with a writing task, each of differen...
