This volume stands out as both an epistemological reflection and a practical resource, providing researchers, instructors, and graduate students with a map of current trends, challenges, and research opportunities in French SLA. [...] <i>Approaches and Methods in French Second Language Acquisition Research</i> is a significant scholarly contribution that offers both breadth and depth. It fills a notable gap in methodological reflection specific to French as a target language in SLA, and it succeeds in its dual aim of documenting and problematizingprevailing practices. Researchers working on other LOTEs [language other than English] will also benefit from the book’s broader arguments about language specificity and methodological adaptation. This volume will be a valuable reference for SLA researchers, teacher-researchers, graduate students, and anyone interested in the methodological architecture of applied linguistics today.
