English term

assignment/task

English to Spanish Social Sciences Education / Pedagogy Writing Across the Curriculum
I cannot find a translation that shows the difference between these two terms in this sentence:
"Herrington’s (1988) study of writing in a literature class again suggests that students will learn what they are asked to do and will adopt the writing elements they are asked for, which are practiced, and which are
given support. Students’ perceptions of the ASSIGNMENTand the TASKS they must accomplish are shaped by the ASSIGNMENTS, the roles instructors project, the interchange of the classroom, as well as the interpretive strategies that they are taught and practice in class discussion." THANKS

Assignment: proyecto/trabajo Task: tarea

Assignment would probably refer more the whole project assigned by the teacher and the tast would maybe more of an individual thing within the whole project. If you had to make a distinction then this could be it but really the two are fairly much interchangeable.

Asignación/tarea

En el libro "La organización requerida", de Elliott Jaques, (Ed. GRANICA) en la corrección de cuya traducción participé, se puso a instancias del autor un especial cuidado en la traducción de los términos. Los que menciono son los dos elegidos. Creo que usarlos es una contribución a la claridad de términos en el campo.

assignment: trabajo (práctico); task: consigna

Claro que las dos palabras tienen más traducciones posibles, pero en este caso me quedaría con estas.
