The last decade has seen a growing body of research investigating
various aspects of L2 learners' performance of tasks. This book
focuses on one task implementation variable: planning. It considers
theories of how opportunities to plan a task affect performance and
tests claims derived from these theories in a series of empirical
studies. The book examines different types of planning (i.e. task
rehearsal, pre-task planning and within-task planning), addressing
both what learners do when they plan and the effects of the
different types of planning on L2 production. The choice of
planning as the variable for investigation in this book is
motivated both by its importance for current theorizing about L2
acquisition (in particular with regard to cognitive theories that
view acquisition in terms of information processing) and its
utility to language teachers and language testers, for unlike many
other constructs in SLA 'planning' lends itself to external
manipulation. The study of planning, then, provides a suitable
forum for demonstrating the interconnectedness of theory, research
and pedagogy in SLA.
