Journal articles on the topic 'Teaching language'

In her review of Language Awareness (LA), Agneta Svalberg shows how its multidisciplinary nature and wide scope make it particularly suited to dealing with the complexities of language. After a brief discussion of definitions, she reviews the place of LA in teaching languages. The author considers also other aspects of LA including critical language awareness, intercultural language awareness and multilingualism.The new series of plenary and keynote speeches from international applied linguistics and second language acquisition conferences continues in this issue with an adapted version of the speech given at the Applied Linguistics Association of New Zealand symposium in 2006 by Cynthia White and with Patricia Duff's speech given at the Pacific Second Language Research Forum and Australian Association of Applied Linguistics joint conference in the same year.The present issue of Language Teaching is the last one in which we include the Abstracts section. In future volumes, starting with volume 41 in January 2008, the state-of-the-art articles will continue to present research on specific topics. A new strand of articles will survey recent second language acquisition and teaching research conducted in individual countries and another new strand will survey research on the teaching of languages other than English. The plenary and keynote speeches series, and the section with annual reports from research groups around the world will continue to feature in the new-look journal. A further section will be allocated to empirical research papers which follow a replication approach in their methodology.

In this issue's state-of-the-art article, Larry Vandergrift suggests that L2 listening remains the least understood and the least researched of all four skills. His paper focuses on a number of areas central to the topic, including the implicit nature of the listening product and process, the cognitive dimensions of the listening skill, listening tasks and the assessment of the skill.The present issue of Language Teaching sees the start of a new series, surveying recent research in some of the most widely-taught L2s. It can be argued that nowadays too much L2 research is focussed on English, and there is very often an implied assumption that ‘one size fits all’ in methodological terms for all languages, which is clearly not the case. We also feel that this journal needs to serve its readers more comprehensively by providing an accessible and regular means of obtaining information about research into languages other than English. Michael Evans opens the series with a review of research on L2 French; reviews of research into L2 German, Spanish, Japanese, Italian and Chinese are currently being prepared.This issue also sees the start of another regular section, wherein we will be publishing plenary and invited speeches from recent language teaching and second language acquisition conferences around the world. Many of these speeches are of fundamental interest to a community wider than those present at such events. To begin the series, Fred Davidson with Glenn Fulcher discuss the flexible language of the Common European Framework of References for Languages and explore the pragmatic utility of such language to guide language test development, and William Littlewood discusses the problems encountered in incorporating new methodologies developed in Europe into East Asian educational institutions. In future issues, we will be presenting speeches from events as diverse as the annual conference of the American Association for Applied Linguistics and the conference of the Applied Linguistics Association of New Zealand, and papers based on the invited speakers' lecture series at the University of Berkeley and the University of Wisconsin-Madison.Richard Johnstone's article in which he reviews research on language teaching, learning and policy published in 2004 and 2005 is available online in Language Teaching 39.4 (2006), at http://journals.cambridge.org/jid_LTA.

In his overview of teaching and learning foreign languages in Germany, Frank Königs refers to the very different research currents and traditions that have come to inform the state-of-the art as we have it today. Here at language teaching, the editorial team endeavours to bring you examples of excellent research carried out in all the traditions and paradigms which inform our profession today. Here you will find accounts of small classroom-based studies side by side with reports on national research projects; you will find a full range of quantitative and qualitative methodologies represented. All of the articles abstracted appeared in peer-reviewed journals, and are carefully considered by the editor and the abstracting team. We consider all of them to be good examples of whichever research trends they represent, and hope that they will be of use in the professional work of our readers.

In this issue of Language Teaching we offer two articles, very different in nature and each of significance to the language teaching professional. In the first article Teresa O'Brien provides a comprehensive and critical overview of research into second language writing, examining both the processes and products of writing in detail and offering a pedagogically oriented research agenda for the future. The second article is a survey of resources: Alfonso Rizo Rodriguez focuses on lexicographical tools for advanced EFL learners, and explains the characteristics of the many products currently available. We continue to offer a broad range of abstracts, carefully selected from the increasing number of journals published in our field.

In this issue we continue with a focus on writing, with Brian Paltridge's discussion of issues in academic writing in various contexts around the world. Paltridge examines language analysis, teaching, and assessment, and looks at how the relationships between these perspectives inform our ever-evolving construct of academic writing. In the abstracts section, we include abstracts from some new journals, and readers new to these may be interested to observe the different research styles which are represented. As always, our aim is to provide a window onto the richness and diversity of research work in our field.

it In this issue, as promised, we include Richard Johnstone's review of research published in 2003. Johnstone examines and synthesises research trends in such areas as motivation, acquisition and learning, and teacher education, as well as the various components of language proficiency. He also comments on developments in terms of research approach, and notes a welcome increase in diversity. Our second article, by JoDee Walters, looks at context and vocabulary learning. Through this specific focus, Walters examines research trends over a lengthy period and discusses the implications for research and pedagogy today.

In this issue we are pleased to include Jane Setter and Jennifer Jenkins' article on pronunciation. Focusing mainly on English pronunciation, the authors look at both L1 and L2 research into the role of pronunciation in many aspects of our lives. They offer discussion of recent controversies, and present a full section on the implications of pronunciation research for teaching. On a different note, I need to announce that this will be my last issue as editor of LTA. I would like to thank everyone who has collaborated on the journal during the time of my editorship: the team at CUP, the abstracting team, and many others. I am pleased to hand over now to Ewa Jaworska and Graeme Porte, and wish them the very best for their editorship.
