Purpose

• This seminar is aimed at primary and secondary school teachers, lecturers, university students and researchers interested in Second Language Acquisition (SLA).
• The goal of this seminar is twofold: (i) to provide updated information on instructed second language learning and the different variables that play a role in the process and (ii) to consider the relevance of SLA research for language teaching.
• The seminar will be held entirely in English, but it intends to cater for all those interested in L2 or foreign language acquisition, as the issues dealt with should be applicable to any L2.
