Notes

¹Semiotics and cultural historical activity theory (CHAT) are, of course, also a part of the L2 research, but publishers in applied linguistics have not wanted the designation to change from SCT.

² Language acquisition and language use are viewed as distinct linguistic processes in some of the applied linguistics literature concerned with the study of L2. However, for the purposes of this proposal, both of these processes are encompassed under the umbrella term L2 learning.

³In this special issue, the terms bilingual, L2 learner, and English language learner (ELL) are used interchangeably to designate individuals whose dominant language is one other than English.
