The chapters in this valuable collection are drawn from a wide range of research approaches, learning contexts, and languages. Most of the studies investigate students' learning in activities that they might also encounter in classroom instruction or practice activities. Consistent throughout the book is a genuine commitment to research that can inform teaching and each chapter concludes with specific recommendations regarding both pedagogy and future research. The book will be a rich resource for researchers and for teacher educators. Patsy M. Lightbown, Concordia University, Canada

Lightbown, Concordia University, Canada This collection truly reflects the cutting-edge of Instructed Second Language Acquisition research in the 21st century. It is exciting to see seminal scholars empirically pursuing such a wealth of phenomena, from aptitude to anxiety and enjoyment, from writing to pragmatics to listening, from pre-task grammar instruction to vision-driven motivation, and much more. Each study is exemplary in methodological rigor, attention to context, and readability. A must-own for anyone interested in supporting research-informed language teaching. Lourdes Ortega, Georgetown University, USA.
