However there would be some differences in L2 learners written performance in different kinds of genre with regard to the effect of tasked based instruction.

To reach the aim of the study, 120 essay samples of 30 intermediate students were analyzed. The most important goal of this study is to analyze task complexity for selecting, sequencing and even grading material in syllabus designing for task and syllabus designer.
