A task-based pull-push mechanism exists among the collective leadership of a professional learning community(PLC)and its members, and functions along emotional and cognitive dimensions. Twelve teachers instructing different languages from one inter-departmental PLC at one university were selected as research participants. Based on the qualitative data from field observation, interviews, research journals, conference memos and documents, this qualitative study investigated the community members self-perceived understanding of the task-based pull-push mechanism. The findings indicate that the mechanism is fully supported and positively evaluated by all the participants.
