ABSTRACT

Instructed SLA concerns any attempt to manipulate or intervene in the process of L2 acquisition. It is grounded in SLA theory and research, and it assumes that what we do in the classroom matters. Instruction can be benefi cial, and one of the goals of ISLA theory and research is to investigate which interventions might be most helpful for L2 learning in the classroom. Another point is that the cognitive processes of learning are the same regardless of context-second language, foreign language, computer-assisted language learning, et cetera.
