THE ADVANCED LEARNER VARIETY CONTEMPORARY STU...

This volume originates from a workshop entitled 'Revisiting advanced varieties in L2 learning'
organized by the editors at Aston University (Birmingham  UK) in June 2006. It consists of a
peer-reviewed selection of the best contributions. Many different approaches have been used in
the study of advanced learners and their characteristics. Specific areas of language have
repeatedly been found to remain problematic even at advanced levels  and much empirical
research has been carried out. In particular  areas of grammar such as the tense or agreement
systems often pose difficulties  as well as lexical idiosyncrasies such as formulaic sequences
and the discourse pragmatic constraints operating in French. This volume brings together recent
research exploring the advanced learner capabilities in each of those domains  as well as
possible explanations for the difficulties they raise for the L2 learner of French.
Additionally  one of the areas which has received considerable attention in the French L2
literature on advanced learners  tense and aspect  is also explored from the point of view of
French learners of English  to explore any parallels. In presenting this research  the book
clarifies the concept of the advanced learner: how does s he differ from native speakers and
why?
