This edited volume has been compiled in honour of Professor Merrill Swain, one of the most prominent scholars in the field of second language acquisition (SLA) and second language (L2) education. For over four decades, her work has contributed substantially to the knowledge base of the field of applied linguistics, and her ideas have had a significant influence in a range of subfields, including immersion education, mainstream SLA, and sociocultural theory and SLA. The range of topics covered in the book reflects the breadth and depth of Swain's contributions, expertise and interests. The volume is divided into four parts: immersion education, languaging, sociocultural perspectives on L2 teaching and learning, and developments in language as social action.

Industry Reviews

It is impossible to overstate the role Merrill Swain has played in shaping the fields of applied linguistics and second language education. Through this unique collection of original papers authored by leading L2 scholars from around the world, Haneda and Nassaji have created a testament to Merrill's numerous contributions - including her foundational work on communicative competence, the output hypothesis, and languaging - that are certain to continue to inspire researchers and practitioners for years to come.
