Abstract

Abstract Instructed foreign language knowledge – that is, language skills acquired exclusively in the classroom without the benefit of any significant immersion experience – remains a vastly neglected area of studies on language learning in general and language attrition in particular. There is also little consideration of foreign language attrition and maintenance as a problem for policy or pedagogy. The present talk will give an overview of what is and what is not known about second language (L2) attrition at the present time. It will then present the results from a pilot project that will hopefully serve as the foundation for larger studies of instructed L2 attrition in future years.

最后的边疆?为什么我们一直忽视第二语言的流失，为什么现在是我们停止的时候了

摘要指导外语知识——也就是说，完全在课堂上获得的语言技能，没有任何重要的沉浸体验——仍然是一般语言学习，特别是语言损耗研究中被严重忽视的领域。对于政策或教育学来说，也很少考虑外语的流失和维持问题。本演讲将概述目前对第二语言（L2）损耗的了解和不了解。然后，它将展示一个试点项目的结果，该项目有望成为未来几年指导性二语损耗的更大规模研究的基础。

It offers critical survey articles of recent research on specific topics, second and foreign languages and countries, and invites original research articles reporting on replication studies and meta-analyses. The journal also includes regional surveys of outstanding doctoral dissertations, topic-based research timelines, theme-based research agendas, recent plenary conference speeches, and research-in-progress reports. A thorough peer-reviewing procedure applies to both the commissioned and the unsolicited articles.
