EUROSLA Yearbook
Volume 11 (2011)
Editors
The annual conference of the European Second Language Association provides an opportunity for the presentation of second language research with a genuinely European flavour. The theoretical perspectives adopted are wide-ranging and may fall within traditions overlooked elsewhere. Moreover, the studies presented are largely multi-lingual and cross-cultural, as befits the make-up of modern-day Europe. At the same time, the work demonstrates sophisticated awareness of scholarly insights from around the world. The EUROSLA yearbook presents a selection each year of the very best research from the annual conference. Submissions are reviewed and professionally edited, and only those of the highest quality are selected. Contributions are in English.

Established researchers will appreciate the theoretical and empirical contributions to established topics in L2 acquisition. [...] Overall, this collection of papers highlights rigorous research being undertaken in L2 acquisition and testing, and each contribution suggests a number of paths for future work.
