SLS Papers

Second Language Studies is a bi-annual publication of the Department of Second Language Studies. The series presents work in progress by faculty members and graduate students. Papers published in Second Language Studies reflect the focus of the Department’s graduate curriculum, which emphasizes the integration of theory and practice in the belief that practical questions and solutions in language teaching should be accountable both to theory and empirical testing. Papers in Second Language Studies have the status of “progress reports” and, in many instances, are published subsequently in revised form. JD Brown has been editor of the Department of SLS working papers since 1994.

Second Language Studies is available on-line.
