dc.description.abstract | This study analyzes the impact of gender on the language learning opportunities
available to Spanish EFL learners during task-based interaction. These learners worked
in mixed and matched gender dyads on four collaborative tasks and the language
learning opportunities were operationalized as language-related episodes (LREs) on
the basis of their production, focus, outcome and level of engagement. The findings
pointed to a high level of engagement in LREs and no differences between males and
females overall. The outcome and the level of engagement in LREs were affected
by the gender of the participants’ interlocutors: males and females seemed to have
more opportunities to resolve and deal with LREs in mixed gender dyads and males’
engagement seemed to be a little bit more limited than females’. This article supports
the benefits of collaborative work for L2 learners and provides new evidence of the
impact of gender during EFL task-based interaction. | es_ES |
