This volume honours the academic achievements and scholarship of Professor Florence Myles as a world-leading scholar in the fields of Second Language Acquisition (SLA) and French Linguistics, in particular for her work in corpus-based SLA and language policy in primary school education. In addition to reviews of the field (e.g., primary languages policy in the UK), the volume presents new research studies reflective of key theoretical and methodological issues in current SLA research, including theory-building, corpus-based investigations, studies of language development, as well as informing teacher professional development through research. Taken together, this edited book provides a wide-ranging and balanced account of Myles’s work and speaks to her influence on SLA research and primary languages policy. We invite readers to learn more about the fascinating research presented here as inspired by Florence’s dedication to field.
Foreign Language Learning from Audiovisual Input

This edited volume brings together studies that test the effectiveness of original version television for foreign language learning and the possible ways to enhance this learning process. The wide availability of on-demand streaming platforms and the popularity of television as a leisure activity grant language learners access to massive amounts of authentic original version television input, which warrants further research to maximise language learning opportunities. The edited volume features a set of empirical studies, encompassing different target languages (Dutch, English, and French) and participant profiles (young learners, adolescents, and adults), which will be of interest to applied linguists, pre- and in-service language instructors, and second language acquisition researchers working on audiovisual input. Importantly, this book includes studies on a variety of linguistic features, the majority of which have been traditionally underrepresented in audiovisual input research: vocabulary, formulaic sequences, pronunciation, pragmatics, and humour. It thus offers a comprehensive view of how original version television may contribute to foreign language development, addressing the dynamic and holistic nature of the language learning process.
Usage in Second Language Acquisition
The study of “usage” has constituted a major line of second language learning research for decades now. The concept of usage, however, can be defined and studied in many different ways. In this comprehensive, forward-looking text, international scholars from a variety of perspectives review and critically examine current conceptualizations of usage, learning, and their connections in the field of second language acquisition (SLA). Bringing these diverse perspectives into conversation, Kevin McManus synthesizes the state of the art to set the agenda for new directions in theory-building and empirical SLA research. This text will be an invaluable resource to students and researchers in SLA, applied linguistics, psychology and cognitive science, education, and related areas.
