Study of language, like any other discipline, has naturally been developing ever since its inception.

Whether or not to teach grammar explicitly is an issue that has long been debated in the field of SLA. There seems to be a growing consensus among many researchers now in support of embedding some element of explicit instruction within a communicative curriculum. The main arguments in support of explicit instruction are threefold: two widely cited…

Among the various challenges that adult and other late language learners face on their journey to achieving nativelike proficiency, chunking has been identified as one of the most difficult tasks to master.

The result is the S-PACE Model, which incorporates the whole-language…

Language play is evident throughout life too: from simple word repetition…

Ranta, Leila – Language Learning, 2022
Stern (1983) reminds us of the ethical reasons for doing second language (L2) research.
