Second Language Research Forum 2013 "The Natural Phenomenon of SLA: Complexity, Context and Communication” October 31 - November 2, 2013 Hosted by: Brigham Young University in Provo, Utah Second language (L2) acquisition has been called a "natural” phenomenon,
but is it natural socially, biologically or cognitively? Recent
research suggests that language is a "complex adaptive system” involving
cognitive, social and innate mechanisms, which all interact, adapt, and
develop in complex ways (Ellis and Larsen-Freeman, 2009). Whether or
not researchers adhere to this notion, there is little dispute that
language is complex and affected by the context in which it occurs and
the communication of ideas between people. Thus, this conference
welcomes research that investigates the complexity of L2 acquisition,
the contexts in which it is learned, and the communication it creates.
