Abstract:

The impetus of the present study was to scrutinize the impact of task types on Iranian L2 Narrative oral production. In order to homogenize the participants, Cambridge Placement Test including 120 items was taken from among 74 students of the Iran Language Institute and 44 of them were chosen. A dependent sample T- test was used to compare paired samples. The hypothesis focused on Descriptive and Summary types of task. L2 learners’ performance differs from task to task. Hence, L2 learners’ production would be different when they perform different task types and consequently these different types of tasks will result in variation. Therefore, in performing different task types, learners’ productions of some grammatical and phonological forms vary in particular manners.
