Asynchronous L2 oral practice using CALL tools

Cognition Hypothesis and resource-directing dimensions

• Then & There tasks (past & elsewhere)
• multiple POV
• location, causality
• intentional reasoning (theory of mind)

Task complexity, interaction and uptake

• task sequencing
• link input to output to increase interaction/uptake
  
• interaction and attention to input
• input vs output anxiety
• task difficulty and complexity

Questions to consider:

• How does this apply to instructional design of oral output lessons/activities?
• Can production CALL tools such as Voicethread, podcasting and YouTube posting increase student L2 uptake?
• If so, how?
