A volume in Research in Second Language LearningJoAnn Hammadou
Sullivan, Series EditorIn 2002, this series was launched with its
first volume, Literacy and the Second LanguageLearner, which
contained many noteworthy research studies in the learning
andteaching of second language reading. The selection of this theme
for the series' entry onthe scene demonstrates the importance of
the topic of second language reading. Becausereading plays a key
role in the act of acquiring new knowledge, it is important to
understandthis complex process. The series again explores this
multifaceted and fruitful areaof inquiry in this, its seventh
volume. In recent years, an explosion of work that strivesto create
a more complete understanding of second language reading has
occurred andresearchers today are making gains in fitting together
a model of second language reading.This current volume brings
together a range of high quality analyses of adult foreign language
reading across languages andresearch methods. It provides important
research findings that will assist foreign language readers and
those who supporttheir efforts.
The field of second language learning research has grown rapidly in
recent years. Educators have become increasingly aware that
pedagogical knowledge varies significantly from one subject domain
to the next and that findings from educational research in one
domain are not necessarily applicable to the next. Researchers in
second language learning are adding to our understandings of
secondlanguage specific pedagogy. There exists a need, therefore,
for an outlet for these ever improving understandings of this
content-specific pedagogy. The new book series, Research in Second
Language Learning, will provide just such an outlet. The series
invites articles from all methodological approaches to research.
The series will promote a research-based approach to the
decision-making process in second language teaching/learning.
