Task Difficulty and Its Components: Are They Alike or Different across Different Macro-genres?
Task difficulty across different macro-genres continues to remain among less attended areas in second language development studies. This study examined the correlation between task difficulty across the descriptive, narrative, argumentative, and expository macro-genres. The three components of task difficulty (i.e., code complexity, cognitive complexity, and communicative stress) were also comp...

متن کاملStudents’ Oral Assessment Considering Various Task Dimensions and Difficulty Factors
This study investigated students’ oral performance ability accounting for various oral analytical factors including fluency, lexical and structural complexity and accuracy with each subcategory. Accordingly, 20 raters scored the oral performances produced by 200 students and a quantitative design using a MANOVA test was used to investigate students’ score differences of various levels of langua...
متن کاملInformation-based complexity of uncertainty sets in feedback control
In this paper, a notion of information-based complexity is introduced to characterize complexities of plant uncertainty sets in feedback control settings, and to understand relationships between identification and feedback control in dealing with uncertainty. This new complexity measure extends the Kolmogorov entropy to problems involving information acquisition (identification) and processing ...
