Researchers and educators routinely call for longitudinal research
on language learning and teaching. The present volume explores the
connection between longitudinal study and advanced language
capacities, two under-researched areas, and proposes an agenda for
future research. Five chapters probe theoretical and methodological
reflections about the longitudinal study of advanced L2 capacities,
followed by eight chapters that report on empirical longitudinal
investigations spanning descriptive, quasi-experimental,
qualitative, and quantitative longitudinal methodologies. In
addition, the co-editors offer a detailed introduction to the
volume and a coda chapter in which they explore what it would take
to design systematic research programs for the longitudinal
investigation of advanced L2 capacities. The scholars in this
volume collectively make the argument that second language
acquisition research will be the richer, theoretically and
empirically, if a trajectory toward advancedness is part of its
conceptualization right from the beginning and, in reverse, that
advancedness is a particularly interesting acquisitional level at
which to probe contemporary theories associated with the
longitudinal study of language development. Acknowledging that
advancedness is increasingly important in our multicultural
societies and globalized world, the central question explored in
the present collection is: How does learning over time evolve
toward advanced capacities in a second language?
