As has been stated by Marianne Celce - Murcia (2001, p. 3), ''[ t]he field of
second (or foreign) language teaching has undergone many fluctuations and
shifts over the years. Different from physics or chemistry, in which progress
is more or less steady until a major discovery causes a radical theoretical
revision, language teaching is a field in which fads and heroes have come and
gone in a manner fairly consistent with the kinds of changes that occur in
youth culture''. Accordingly, despite a continually growing body of research
data, the L2 learning/teaching processes remain, at least to some extent, a
mystery waiting to be further unveiled, explored and reflected upon. Over a
decade EFL educational contexts have gradually ceased to be viewed in terms of
unidimensional, cause - effect relationships, whereas more and more attention
has been given to the nonlinear, temporally determined changes that
irrevocably though not always explicitly shape the learning and teaching
environment (MacIntyre & Legatto, 2011; Mercer, 2011; Waninge, Dörnyei, & de
Bot, 2014). Following this line of reasoning, the present special issue of
Konin Language Studies aims to look at the L2 classroom through the lens of
teachers' and students' retrospective records of experience in relation to
prospective directions for language learning and teaching improvement. We
hereby invite papers that investigate qualitative and quantitative swings in
various L2 classroom areas from a temporally situated perspective.

The issues discussed in this volume may refer to the following topic strands:
- Learner variables 
- The assessment of learning achievements 
- The use of new technologies 
- Classroom discourse 
- Language skills and subsystems 
- Language and metaphor 
- Language and specific learning difficulties 
- Dual code use 
- Intercultural communicative competence 
- Young learner SLA

Proposed publication date: 4/2019
