Second Language Developmentas a Dynamic Process
Guest Editor: Kees de Bot
The MLJ is happy to announce the publication of issue 92.2, entitled SecondLanguage Development as a Dynamic Process. It is a Special Issue on the topic ofDynamic Systems Theory, guest-edited by Professor Kees de Bot.
Contributors to this exciting issue include Paul van Geert; Diane Larsen-Freeman& Lynne Cameron; Marjolijn Verspoor, Wander Lowie & Marijn van Dijk; Nick C.Ellis; Carolina Plaza-Pust; and Ulrike Jessner.
This Special Issue is based on the presentations at the Round Table on DynamicAspects of Language Development sponsored by Language Learning, which was partof the 2006 annual conference of the American and Canadian Associations ofApplied Linguistics (AAAL and CAAL). The audience’s interest in this topicmirrored an earlier experience at the 2006 Teachers of English to Speakers ofOther Languages, Inc. (TESOL) convention in Orlando, Florida.
Inspired by such a high level of interest in the topic, this Special Issue wasput together in the hopes that it would on the one hand set a milestone in theintroduction of new ideas on complexity and dynamic systems in the field ofapplied linguistics and on the other hand allow a larger audience to get astate-of-the-art overview of these ideas.
A list of featured content appears below for your convenience. We hope you willenjoy reading the issue.
Sincerely,
