| Sumario: | In the field of teaching English as a foreign language there has been a growing tendency towards adopting communicative teaching methods. Likewise, the current state curricula in Argentina propose using a task-based approach to teaching English. In this context, there is an increasing need for answers as regards the potential benefits of those methods on the process of language acquisition. There has been much research in the last few years on the effects of task repetition on the linguistic development of students of foreign languages, especially taking into account that there are complex cognitive processes involved in oral and written production.
The objective of this study is to analyze the effects of the repetition of oral narrative tasks on the distribution of attentional resources among the different procedures involved in speaking, using Levelt’s (2012) blueprint of the speaker as a reference, and to relate this re-distribution to changes in the quality of the participants’ performance. A quantitative analysis of the participants’ productions was carried out to measure fluency, precision, lexical complexity and syntactic complexity. After each task, an interview was conducted with each participant to analyze their performance in order to identify the percentage of attention allocated to each production process. The results are not conclusive, but they provide data consistent with previous studies. |
