摘要：The past twenty years has witnessed a remarkable increase in the number of studies investigating different
aspects and features of tasks in the second and foreign language class and their effects on learners’ oral and
written task performance. Building up on a review of the studies conducted in the field of task-based language
teaching a gap was revealed in the literature on the joint effects of task complexity and types of pre-task planning
on L2 learners’ performance. The present study investigates the effects of strategic pre-task planning time and
task complexity on a group of L2 learners’ written performance in terms of accuracy and fluency. The means of
accuracy and fluency of 50 intermediate English language learners, both male and female, chosen randomly from
Iran National Language Institute, Miandoab Branch were compared using T-test as the statistical means of
analysis. The findings revealed a positive influence of pre-task strategic planning time in both simple and
complex tasks, suggesting significant implications for syllabus and task designers, language teachers, and SLA
researchers.
