In this talk at The New School (http://www.newschool.edu) Scott Thornbury briefly review figures in the Second Language Acquisition (SLA) ‘Hall of Fame’, and suggest that they still have relevance to today’s classrooms. The relatively recent history of second language acquisition (SLA) research has produced a small number of case studies that have an almost iconic significance in the literature: you only have to mention Alberto or Wes or Nora, and scholars will know exactly what feature of language acquisition you’re talking about.
