Abstract

This paper introduces a colloquium on the scope and form of a theory of second language learning. It argues for the value of a general theory, considers the relation of theory to practice, and argues that the papers that follow—by McLaughlin; Bialystok; Long; Schumann; Sokolik; and Hatch, Shirai, and Fantuzzi;—point to a field where new and competing paradigms are being explored. 1990 TESOL International Association
