This paper discusses key concepts in the emerging field of technology-mediated task-based language teaching (TMTBLT) and provides a research agenda for moving this sub-field forward in a theoretically sound and data-driven way. We first define TMTBLT and discuss the importance of considering technological affordances and specific learning contexts when matching individual technologies with particular tasks. We then explore the notion of task, specifically task complexity and sequencing, and how the introduction of technology may interact and modify tasks' features. Next, we examine the use of mobile apps and social media within a task-based language teaching (TBLT) framework and highlight areas primed for exploration or in need of reconciliation. Finally, we call for TMTBLT studies to capture and evaluate learner process data. Within each area above we propose a series of specific research tasks that incrementally build on previous research in both face-to-face and technology-mediated environments, which may help us better understand how tasks and technologies intersect to promote language learning.

以技术为媒介的任务型语言教学：研究议程

本文讨论了新兴技术介导的任务型语言教学 (TMTBLT) 领域的关键概念，并为以理论上合理和数据驱动的方式推进这一子领域提供了研究议程。我们首先定义 TMTBLT 并讨论在将单个技术与特定任务匹配时考虑技术可供性和特定学习环境的重要性。然后我们探讨任务的概念，特别是任务复杂性和顺序，以及技术的引入如何交互和修改任务的特征。接下来，我们在基于任务的语言教学 (TBLT) 框架内检查移动应用程序和社交媒体的使用，并强调需要探索或需要协调的领域。最后，我们呼吁 TMTBLT 研究来捕获和评估学习者过程数据。
