This book highlights the narratives of teachers of non-English languages. Much of what we know about L2 teaching is based on conclusions drawn from research on teaching in English as an L2, with languages besides English being given short shrift or ignored entirely. Examining L2 teaching practices related to non-English languages can help us gain a more comprehensive understanding of language pedagogy. This is because different target languages play different roles in the contexts in which they are taught, which influences teaching and learning in significant ways.The contributions in this book include chapters from L2 instructors who teach a wide range of languages in different settings, including different geographical, sociolinguistic, and institutional contexts. With narratives focused on pedagogical practices and practical materials, this resource will be beneficial to pre-service teachers, teacher educators, and researchers in language education, as well as in-service teacher training programs.

This bibliography is a compilation of 15 short bibliographies published in an issue of the Journal of Second Language Writing from January 1993 to September 1997. The work focuses on theoretically grounded research reports and essays addressing issues in second and foreign language writing and writing instruction, containing 676 entries, each including a 50+ word summary intended to be non-evaluative in nature. The editors hope that this work will be a useful tool for developing theory, research, and instruction in second language writing.

Most of what we know about writing in a second or foreign language (L2) is based on conclusions drawn from research on L2 writing in English. However, a significant quantity of L2 writing and writing instruction takes place in languages other than English and so there is a need for studies that look beyond English. The chapters in this book focus on languages other than English and investigate curricular issues, multiple languages in contact/conflict in L2 writing instruction and student attitudes toward pedagogical practices. The collection as a whole makes a valuable contribution to the study of L2 writing, and it will also prove an essential resource for instructors of second and foreign language writing.
