SPANISH SECOND LANGUAGE ACQUISITION: STATE OF THE SCIENCE. Barbara A. Lafford and Rafael Salaberry (Eds.). Washington, DC: Georgetown University Press, 2003. Pp. xii + 332. $39.95 paper.

Lafford and Salaberry's new volume provides an overview of the past, present, and anticipated future of SLA theory and research on second language (L2) acquisition of Spanish. Chapters 1–6 summarize some of the major products of Spanish SLA research, whereas chapters 7–9 treat overarching theoretical concerns related to the processes involved in Spanish SLA. The final chapter examines the role of L2 instruction. This accessible work reports on major trends in the field and discusses the results and conclusions of landmark studies published during the last half century.
