This book brings together theoretical and
empirical approaches to second language (L2) fluency and provides a
state-of-the-art overview of current approaches to the topic. The strength of
the volume lies in its interdisciplinary approach: the chapters approach
fluency from non-traditional starting points and go beyond disciplinary boundaries
in their contributions. The volume includes chapters approaching fluency from L2
perspective and integrates perspectives from related fields, such as
psycholinguistics, sign language studies and L2 assessment. The book extends
the common foci and approaches of fluency studies and offers new perspectives
that enable readers to evaluate critically existing paradigms and models. This
encourages developing more comprehensive frameworks and directs future L2
fluency research into new areas of L2 learning and use.
