The Art of Teaching Spanish
This volume explores the extent to which the art of teaching L2 Spanish has been informed by the scientific (theoretical and empirical) research on SLA (and other relevant fields) referred to in the first volume. It also investigates the types of challenges faced by initiatives to transfer findings from research to teaching and how to overcome practical problems associated with the implementation of new approaches to teaching.

Language Allegiances and Bilingualism in the US. Multilingual Matters
This book analyzes the concept of language allegiances, and, more broadly, language-based identities in a multilingual society such as the US. The guiding theme of the chapters that comprise this volume is the identification of specific beliefs and attitudes towards language, and how these lead to particular actions in the spheres of language ideology, legal litigation, educational agendas, political strategies and cultural identities. The authors share the idea that, whether it is based on reality or a perception of reality, there is a privileged connection between language and identity.

Research Design and Methodology in Studies on L2 Tense and Aspect
Research Design and Methodology in Studies on Second Language Tense and Aspect provides an up-to-date review of past and current methodologies for the study of the L2 acquisition of tense and aspect. More specifically, the book addresses the following issues related to the design of studies for research in tense and aspect: (1) Theoretical frameworks (e.g., Are research questions investigated within one theoretical approach incompatible with other approaches?). (2). Elicitation procedures (Do different types of tasks elicit different types of tense-aspect data?). (3). Coding of data (e.g. How are lexical categories defined and coded?) (4). Data analysis (e.g., What statistical tests are more appropriate to analyze language data?).
