Evidence-Based Second Language Pedagogy is a cutting-edge collection of empirical research conducted by top scholars focusing on instructed second language acquisition (ISLA), and offering a direct contribution to second language pedagogy by closing the gap between research and practice. Building on the conceptual, state-of-the-art chapters in The Routledge Handbook of Instructed Second Language Acquisition (2017), studies in this volume are organized according to the key components of ISLA: types of instruction, learning processes, learning outcomes, and learner and teacher psychology. The volume responds to pedagogical needs in different L2 teaching and learning settings by including a variety of theoretical frameworks (sociological, psychological, sociocultural, and cognitive), methodologies (qualitative and quantitative), target languages (English, Spanish, and Mandarin), modes of instruction (face-to-face and computer-mediated), targets of instruction (speaking, writing, listening, motivation, and professional development), and instructional settings (second language, foreign language, and heritage language). A novel synthesis of research in the rapidly growing field of ISLA that also covers effective research-based teaching strategies, Evidence-Based Second Language Pedagogy is the ideal resource for researchers, practitioners, and graduate students in SLA, applied linguistics, and TESOL.

Industry Reviews

"The chapters in this valuable collection are drawn from a wide range of research approaches, learning contexts, and languages. Most of the studies investigate students' learning in activities that they might also encounter in classroom instruction or practice activities. Consistent throughout the book is a genuine commitment to research that can inform teaching and each chapter concludes with specific recommendations regarding both pedagogy and future research. The book will be a rich resource for researchers and for teacher educators."

Patsy M. Lightbown, Concordia University, Canada

"This collection truly reflects the cutting-edge of Instructed Second Language Acquisition research in the 21st century. It is exciting to see seminal scholars empirically pursuing such a wealth of phenomena, from aptitude to anxiety and enjoyment, from writing to pragmatics to listening, from pre-task grammar instruction to vision-driven motivation, and much more. Each study is exemplary in methodological rigor, attention to context, and readability. A must-own for anyone interested in supporting research-informed language teaching."
