2022 Chapter 2. Taking the Long view: A bibliometric analysis Second Language Acquisition Theory: The legacy of Professor Michael H. Long, Benati, Alessandro G. and John W. Schwieter (eds.), pp. 9–28 | Chapter
By any definition, Michael Long was a giant in the field of second language acquisition (SLA). He was one of the very few who could truly wed language learning and language teaching which he did in a seamless fashion.

In this article we investigated the learner characteristics of 127 Spanish language learners who achieved “advanced” in at least one tested skill (speaking, reading, or listening). We compared their profiles with case-control-matched non-advanced peers. All students took a background survey on… read more

Preservice instructors’ performance on a language learning task: Altering interlocutor task orientation Expanding Individual Difference Research in the Interaction Approach: Investigating learners, instructors, and other interlocutors, Gurzynski-Weiss, Laura (ed.), pp. 281–302 | Chapter
Previous research has shown that preservice instructors focus less on language while completing dyadic language learning tasks (Polio, Gass, & Chapin, 2006) and give less feedback than experienced instructors in a classroom setting (Mackey, Polio, & McDonough, 2004). Although most language… read more

This chapter examines the impact of Selinker’s claim that certain data were inappropriate for SLA research: grammaticality judgments and nonsense syllables. The field has gradually come to understand SLA through multiple data types, so that the current view is that data are not appropriate or… read more
2013 Chapter 3. Interaction and the Noun Phrase Accessibility Hierarchy: A study using syntactic priming Innovative Research and Practices in Second Language Acquisition and Bilingualism, Schwieter, John W. (ed.), pp. 43–62 | Article
