摘　　要：任务复杂度是二语写作研究的热点话题。通过对学生的有声思维、写作文本和访谈的分析,本研究探讨了资源导向型任务复杂度对外语写作过程中语言形式注意和修改的影响。结果显示,当任务复杂度沿着资源导向维度增加时,学习者对任务难度的感知更强。在完成复杂任务过程中,学习者的信心下降,动力不足。任务复杂度不仅影响到学习者语言形式注意的数量,也影响到语言形式注意的质量。但任务复杂度对学习者反馈吸收的影响并不显著。本研究结果为“认知假说”提供了一定的支持,对外语写作教学有一定的启示意义。Task complexity has attracted growing attention in the field of second language writing.By analyzing the students'think-aloud protocols,different drafts and interviews,the present study investigated how task complexity manipulated along the resource-directing dimension affected EFL learners'focus on form in their writing process and revision.The results showed that task complexity significantly affected learners'perceptions of task difficulty.Learners felt less confident and less motivated in completing the complex task.Task complexity not only affected the quantity of learners'focus on form in their writing process,but also influenced the quality of learners'focus on form.However,learners'uptake of the relevant feedback did not show any significant change in the tasks of different complexity.The findings partially support Cognition Hypothesis and have some implications for EFL writing pedagogy.
