| Title | New Book: The Longitudinal Study of Advanced L2 Capacities |
| Body | From http://www.routledge.com/books/The-Longitudinal-Study-of-Advanced-L2-Capacities-isbn9780805861730 The Longitudinal Study of Advanced L2 Capacities By Lourdes Ortega, Heidi Byrnes Publisher: Routledge Summary: The present volume explores the connection between longitudinal study and advanced language capacities, two under-researched areas, and proposes an agenda for future research. Five chapters probe theoretical and methodological reflections about the longitudinal study of advanced L2 capacities, followed by eight chapters that report on empirical longitudinal investigations spanning descriptive, quasi-experimental, qualitative, and quantitative longitudinal methodologies. The scholars in this volume collectively make the argument that second language acquisition research will be the richer, theoretically and empirically, if a trajectory toward advancedness is part of its conceptualization right from the beginning and, in reverse, that advancedness is a particularly interesting acquisitional level at which to probe contemporary theories associated with the longitudinal study of language development. The central question explored in the present collection is: How does learning over time evolve toward advanced capacities in a second language?
