Sociolinguistic development among instructed learners
Against the backdrop of the predominant focus on sociolinguistic development among study-abroad and immersion learners in the case of some languages other than English, this study offers an investigation in an instructed classroom setting among university learners of English in China. While previous studies have offered a range of insights into sociolinguistic development, the nature of potential sociolinguistic development over time in a classro…

Beyond age and intensive exposure
This study investigates the effects of biological age and intensive exposure on L2 learning in an International School context as regards variability in learning rate and L2 development among pre- versus mid-adolescent learners. Longitudinal data collection at three time-points over one year involved semi-guided interviews and written productions among 28 L1-French learners of English in two age groups, either 11 years or 15 years of age. The dat…
Motivation for Lote learning
This study responds to calls for more research on motivations for learning languages other than English (LOTEs) in the new era dominated by global English. In particular, it focuses on the role of societal contextual factors surrounding the status of English and the status of the LOTE as an L2/L3, as factors which may offer a more nuanced understanding of motivation in the case of LOTE learning. It presents a comparative quantitative analysis of …
Classroom Instruction During Study Abroad
Exploring the underinvestigated area of instruction during study abroad, this article offers a quantitative study of linguistic development among second language university learners of Chinese during a semester in China. A comparison is made between learners following task-based language teaching and a comparison group following a traditional approach at two proficiency levels. Spoken task data are analyzed within the framework of complexity, acc…
Learning French as a foreign language in a globalised world
While the L2 Motivational Self System (L2MSS) has been extensively investigated among learners of English, this study explores through a crosslinguistic lens its applicability to learners of a language other than English (LOTE), in this case French. Quantitative survey analysis among 522 university learners of French and English in two European countries (Sweden and Poland) suggests that while the framework is relevant in the case of learners of …
Introductory Article
Emerging in the late 1960s and early 1970s with the ground-breaking work of Stephen Pit Corder, followed by Larry Selinker's (1972) conceptualisation of 'interlanguage', second language acquisition (SLA) has developed into a highly buoyant independent field within the wider terrain that is applied linguistics

TheAcquisition of Sociolinguistic Competence in a Study Abroad Context
Drawing on cross-sectional and longitudinal analyses of a range of sociolinguistic variables in L2 French, this volume explores the relationship between 'study abroad' and the acquisition of sociolinguistic variation patterns by the advanced second language learner.
Morpho-phonetic variation in the spoken French media
While recent studies have provided pivotal insights into the use of a range of sociolinguistic variables by speakers of Hexagonal French, this paper aims to illuminate how their usage may diverge/converge in the spoken language of the media. Based on a quantitative study of liaison realisation, /l/ deletion, and ‘ne’ deletion, the paper compares a number of trends behind their usage by journalists with those previously identified in that professi…
On The Role Of Context In The Development Of Learner Language
Based on an expansive study of Irish university learners of French, this paper aims to illuminate the specificity of the role played by ‘learning context’ on the learners’ language development. Following discussion of the concept of ‘learning context’ in language learning, the paper compares the language development of classroom instructed learners in Ireland and ‘study abroad’ learners who are also instructed learners, but who have resided in Fr…
