Abstract:
This book provides clarity about the characteristics and notion of language
proficiency in the field of second language acquisition. It looks at four
areas of research paradigmatically related to the role of proficiency:
- Theorizing and measuring second language proficiency
- The dimensions of L2 proficiency
- Factors contributing to the attainment of L2 proficiency
- Attaining L2 proficiency in the classroom
The book also contains a variety of research accounts about the specific
factors which have an effect on proficiency together with a theorised
measurement of proficiency in second language research. It will be
required reading for researchers in applied linguistics and second language
acquisition.
