摘要
Inspired by the recent surge of interest in EFL writing, this study intended to examine the impacts of three types of language task, i.e., Topic Writing (TWT), Picture Description (PDT), and Text Reconstruction (TRT) on accuracy, fluency and complexity aspects of Iranian EFL learners' writing performance. Findings from Analysis of Variances (ANOVA) demonstrated a high degree of accuracy and complexity in EFL learners' performance on Topic Writing tasks, comparing to fluency which was demonstrated to be high in EFL learners' performance on Picture Description tasks.
