on First Language from L2 and on L2 from a Third Language (and vice-versa); Individual Differences (in e.g., age, gender, aptitude, personality, and motivation) in SLA; Influence of Cognitive Variables (e.g., memory and attention) on L2 Learning and Use; and
Methodological Issues in SLA Research. Working languages for the conference are English and Japanese.</p>
