'The editor and authors in this volume make a convincing case for
focusing on advanced foreign language instruction. Importantly,
they invite consideration of this focus as an opportunity to
re-examine conventional definitions of the target of instruction.
In so doing, readers also learn more about the theories highlighted
in this volume, and their capacity to enhance our understanding of
advancedness and its development within an educational context.
This book thus mediates between linguistic and language learning
theories and educational practice, modelling the very best of what
applied linguistics has to offer.' Diane Larsen-Freeman, Professor
of Education, University of Michigan. The reality of multicultural
societies and globalization has increased the demand for language
abilities that far exceed those that have typically been associated
with communicative competence in a second language. This book
examines the acquisition of advanced levels of ability in three
parts: theoretical; descriptive; and instructional. It moves beyond
the traditional constraints of second language acquisition research
by linking systemic functional linguistics and sociocultural
theory.The contributors draw primarily on the work of Halliday,
Vygotsky and Bakhtin, as well as empirical data from the language
classroom, to suggest practical applications towards advanced
literacy and linguistic competence. Advanced Language Learning will
be of interest to academics researching systemic functional
linguistics, second language acquisition and applied linguistics.
