Abstract
(forthcoming)
Bio
↗︎ Dr. Mohammad Ahmadian is one of the most brilliant linguists of the new generation specializing in instructed L2 acquisition and task-based language teaching and learning. He joined the School of Education at the University of Leeds in 2015 as a Lecturer in TESOL and before that he spent 7 years at the University of Isfahan (Iran) as a part-time lecturer, teaching fellow, and assistant professor of applied linguistics. Dr. Ahmadian currently has a range of teaching, supervision, and leadership responsibilities. Besides his numerous publications, in 2016 he guest-edited ↗︎ The Language Learning Journal’s special issue on Task-based Language Teaching and Learning, and in 2018 he co-edited the volume ↗︎ Recent Perspectives on Task-based Language Learning and Teaching (De Gruyter Mouton). Dr. Ahmadian’s research interests are focused on planning and repetition in task design and task sequencing, the relationship between working memory capacity and various task factors and instructional conditions, learners' and teachers' perceptions of task-based language teaching, complexity, accuracy, and fluency in L2 speech, self-repair behavior and speech production processes, and quantitative and qualitative research design and analysis.
