Description
This collection of articles presents the findings of a major investigation into second language proficiency in school-aged learners.

With its lively discussion of theoretical and practical implications, this book will be of interest to those involved in policy and practice in second language education. It offers a valuable appraisal of research into second language proficiency, making it a useful resource for anyone concerned with improving language teaching and learning.
