In lieu of an abstract, here is a brief excerpt of the content:

Acknowledgments vii this volume emerged from my course Instructed SLA, which in spring 2001 included a series of lectures generously given by several of my Georgetown University colleagues and Bill VanPatten of the University of Illinois, each on their current research. Gail Grella of Georgetown University Press discerned in the course and lectures the seeds of this volume, and the rest is history. Since then some of us have invited our students and alumna to coauthor the chapters. I believe that this volume provides a good picture of the work in cognitive second language acquisition that we do here at Georgetown, which results from collaboration between faculty and graduate students, the main and medical campuses, and the language and linguistics departments. I am most thankful for the detailed comments and insights provided by the following reviewers on individual chapters: David Birdsong, Harriet Bowden, Joaquim Camps, Andrew Farley, Shinichi Izumi, Renee Jourdenais, Hiram Maxim, Kara Morgan-Short, Nuria Sagarra, Bill VanPatten, Paula Winke, Winnie Wong, and two reviewers who wish to remain anonymous. I also acknowledge the helpful feedback I received from the two anonymous reviewers who evaluated the volume. My thanks also go to Georgetown’s Faculty of Languages and Linguistics and Graduate School of Arts and Sciences, and especially to Gerry Mara and Gail Grella of Georgetown University Press for their support. Finally, many thanks must go to the students in Instructed SLA who suffered the first draft of this volume: Mariona Anfruns, Chris Barley, Beatriz Lado, Hui-Ju Lin, Almitra Medina, and Iñigo Yanguas; special thanks go to Mariona Anfruns and Beatriz Lado, who painstakingly proofread the manuscript.
