Extract

Ten years ago, research in second language acquisition manifested an array of doubts about the potential of major disciplinary paradigms for providing a comprehensive theory of second language acquisition. Linguistic theory and psychological theory alike were viewed as only marginally useful either for stimulating fruitful research or for undergirding classroom practices in second language teaching. But the skepticism of the 70s had its virtues. We had outgrown the childishness of seeking clear-cut distinctions and final answers. Consequently, we probed deeper and wider, beyond the confines of “established” disciplinary models to seek new worlds of possibilities, yet with philosophical lifelines firmly secured in the collective expertise of centuries of the study of human behaviour.
