Summary
Chapter 1 introduces my personal motivation to write this book, outlines where the gap is in the child second language literature and why it would be desirable to complement the currently largely adult-focussed research by incorporating children’s views and perspectives, in particular by encouraging more active roles for children in research. Some basic premises and key terms are outlined.
