Title
Dimensions of L2 Performance and Proficiency: Complexity, Accuracy and Fluency in SLA
Edited by Alex Housen, Folkert Kuiken and Ineke Vedder
Research into complexity, accuracy and fluency (CAF) as basic dimensions of second language performance, proficiency and development has received increased attention in SLA. However, the larger picture in this field of research is often obscured by the breadth of scope, multiple objectives and lack… read more[Language Learning & Language Teaching, 32] 2012. xii, 305 pp.
2021 Applying phraseological complexity measures to L2 French: A partial replication study International Journal of Learner Corpus Research 7:2, pp. 197–229 | Article
This study partially replicates Paquot’s (2018, 2019) study of phraseological complexity in L2 English by investigating how phraseological complexity compares across proficiency levels as well as how phraseological complexity measures relate to lexical, syntactic and morphological complexity… read more
2020 Chapter 9. A critical appraisal of the CDST approach to investigating linguistic complexity in L2 writing development Complex Dynamic Systems Theory and L2 Writing Development, Fogal, Gary G. and Marjolijn H. Verspoor (eds.), pp. 207–238 | Chapter
This chapter aims to help the complex dynamic systems theory (CDST) approach to second language acquisition reach its full potential by critically appraising its current applications to complexity in L2 writing development. To further this end, we first review five representative empirical… read more
2012 Defining and operationalising L2 complexity Dimensions of L2 Performance and Proficiency: Complexity, Accuracy and Fluency in SLA, Housen, Alex, Folkert Kuiken and Ineke Vedder (eds.), pp. 21–46 | Article
This chapter takes a critical look at complexity in L2 research. We demonstrate several problems in the L2 literature in terms of how complexity has been defined and operationalised as a construct. In the first part of the chapter we try to unravel its highly complex, multidimensional nature by… read more

2008 De Schriftelijke Taalvaardigheid van Franstalige en Nederlandstalige Leerlingen uit het Nederlandstalig Onderwijs in Brussel Toegepaste Taalwetenschap in Artikelen 79, pp. 75–85 | Article
In Brussels, the officially Dutch-French bilingual but predominantly francophone capital of Belgium, a monolingual Dutch-medium and French-medium school system operate in parallel and independently from each other. Lately, an increasing number of francophone parents have sent their children to the… read more
2006 The effect of extraversion on oral L2 proficiency EUROSLA Yearbook: Volume 6 (2006), Foster-Cohen, Susan H., Marta Medved Krajnovic and Jelena Mihaljević Djigunović (eds.), pp. 213–236 | Article
This study investigates the commonly-held belief in the SLA community that second language acquisition is somehow influenced by the learner’s personality. It builds on previous research on the relation between one personality variable, extraversion, and second language acquisition but is innovative… read more
