The purpose of this paper is to illustrate how tasks can be used systematically as a context for developing learners' knowledge about language, their skill in using language, and our ability to teach it. It begins by outlining a role for tasks in language learning, identi®es a limitation in previous studies of tasks to promote learning, and suggests the need for tasks to lead learners to integrate ¯uency, accuracy and complexity in communication. It draws on data from a number of recent studies to illustrate how tasks can a?ect learners' language focus and their language processing. The paper concludes by showing how data from learners working on tasks can provide a basis for developing professional thinking.
