Authors	Yousefi, Mohammad Hossein; Mohammadi, Ebrahim Ghorban; Koosha, Mansour
Abstract	The purpose of the present paper was to present the rationale for the Task-based Language teaching and discuss its significance within the SLA approaches to language teaching. First, different approaches to Task-based language teaching research and practice were discussed, then the notion of ‘Task Complexity” has been touched upon and different models for estimating task difficulty or Task Complexity were mentioned. Attempt, then, was made to elaborate on the empirical studies within the Cognition Hypothesis (Robinson, 2003, 2005, 2007). Finally, the implications of Task Complexity for SLA research and pedagogy were widely discussed.
