  • Summary

    Technology has been increasingly incorporated into the second language learning classroom and curriculum, highlighting the need for researchers and educators to consider how it has affected the tasks they facilitate, as well as their mediating effects on second language learning and teaching. This chapter explores how the unique advantages of various forms of technology can enhance and support the developmental and performance-related benefits of TBLT. We propose that technologies that follow a ‘learning by doing’ philosophy, facilitate learner involvement in everyday tasks, and provide spaces to engage with the language and other speakers are ideal tools to enact TBLT in ways that are not possible in traditional language classrooms. Examples of such tools and tasks are presented together with research that supports their effectiveness for language learning. The chapter ends with a look into the future of technology-mediated tasks, including some challenges that need to be resolved for the advancement of technology-mediated TBLT.
