Task-based research has shown the benefits of using tasks in various instructional contexts across different age groups. Although task-based language teaching promotes language learning through authentic real-world tasks, previous research has mainly used controlled pedagogic tasks. The current exploratory, intact-classroom, multi-case study examined the extent to which 13 Korean adolescent learners of English used and learned new English lexical items while carrying out an uncontrolled, real-world, multimodal, video-creation task. It further investigated students’ perceptions of performing such a task. Target items included 93 English lexical items that appeared in realia at a historical site in Korea. The video-creation task was carried out over 5 days and included pretask planning, a field trip to the Korean historical site, and creation of a travel guide video for the site in a computer lab. Students’ interactions were recorded digitally. Results revealed that the degree of target-item production varied by participant, but overall target lexical items were not greatly used by students. Students’ perceptions of the benefits of the uncontrolled, real-world task seemed to relate to task-as-process, which was directly influenced by learner-generated workplans. Pedagogical implications for designing and implementing real-world tasks requiring task performance inside and outside of the classroom are discussed.

实施不受控制的现实世界任务：词汇学习机会和学生的认知

基于任务的研究表明，在不同年龄组的各种教学环境中使用任务的好处。尽管基于任务的语言教学通过真实的现实世界任务促进语言学习，但以前的研究主要使用受控教学任务。目前的探索性、完整课堂、多案例研究检查了 13 名韩国青少年英语学习者在执行不受控制的、真实世界的、多模式的、视频创作任务时使用和学习新英语词汇的程度。它进一步调查了学生对执行此类任务的看法。目标项目包括在韩国历史遗址现实出现的93个英语词汇项目。视频创作任务历时 5 天，包括任务前计划、韩国历史遗址实地考察、并在计算机实验室中为该站点制作旅游指南视频。学生的互动以数字方式记录下来。结果显示，目标项目产生的程度因参与者而异，但总体目标词汇项目并没有被学生大量使用。学生对不受控制的现实世界任务的好处的看法似乎与任务即过程有关，这直接受到学习者生成的工作计划的影响。讨论了设计和实施需要在课堂内外完成任务的现实任务的教学意义。学生对不受控制的现实世界任务的好处的看法似乎与任务即过程有关，这直接受到学习者生成的工作计划的影响。讨论了设计和实施需要在课堂内外完成任务的现实任务的教学意义。学生对不受控制的现实世界任务的好处的看法似乎与任务即过程有关，这直接受到学习者生成的工作计划的影响。讨论了设计和实施需要在课堂内外完成任务的现实任务的教学意义。
