This book forms an invaluable reference work for all teachers of second languages and researchers in the field of L2 acquisition. In the first section of the book, the authors of the various chapters discuss the contribution that modern research into L2 acquisition has to make in the curriculum development process. In particular, the book provides the reader with arguments for and against the various approaches to teaching. In the second part of the book, the contributors concern themselves with the various assessment tests and their validity, discussing them in particular on psycholinguistic grounds. They also discuss the political function of such assessment and how tests are used or abused in many different contexts around the world.

About the Author
Kenneth Hyltenstam is Professor Emeritus of Bilingualism at Stockholm University. He has published extensively in the area of second language acquisition, specifically on topics such as age and ultimate L2 attainment, markedness, developmental sequences and variability, but his research also covers other topics within the area of bilingualism such as polyglotism and bilingualism and dementia. Edited volumes covering these areas are Modelling and Assessing Second Language Acquisition (Multilingual Matters 1985, with Manfred Pienemann); Bilingualism Across the Lifespan (Cambridge University Press 1989, with Loraine K. Obler); Progression and Regression in Language (Cambridge University Press 1993, with Åke Viberg); Advanced Proficiency and Exceptional Ability in Second Languages (Mouton de Gruyter, 2016); High-Level Language Proficiency in Second Language and Multilingual Contexts (Cambridge University Press, 2018, with Inge Bartning and Lars Fant). In addition, he has contributed to multilingualism in the sociolinguistic and educational fields (co-edited volume Entangled Discourses (Routledge, 2017, with Caroline Kerfoot). Issues dealt with here include language policy as well as language maintenance, shift and revitalization with respect to minority languages in Sweden and Norway. He has published widely on language and education issues in the Nordic context as well as in the global South (Bolivia, Mozambique). He served as the Director of the Centre for Research on Bilingualism at Stockholm University 1981–2007 and 2012–2013.
