This book marks the first-ever collection of papers in English on the acquisition of Japanese as a second language. Its overarching goal is to broaden and deepen the field of SLA research by focusing on Japanese rather than on more commonly studied European languages. Broad in scope and eclectic in approach with chapters by leading scholars in the field, The Acquisition of Japanese as a Second Language offers a survey of the far-ranging field of SLA research as it applies to Japanese. Chapters include studies on input and interaction, research into the evaluation of L2 proficiency, and investigations of the grammatical system that is the product of second language learning.

Table of Contents
“Despite that fact that Japanese is one of the most extensively studied non-European languages in American universities, there are few books written in English that directly address key issues of acquisition of Japanese as a second language. Kannno’s book is the one that the field has been waiting for.”
“It serves as a good survey of studies on the acquisition of Japanese as a second language. Students of linguistics can find a quick overview of important issues that have been discussed in Japanese linguistics.”
“This collection of papers certainly broadens our horizon of second language acquisition, especialy that of Japanese.”
