      Acknowledgments

      Words are not sufficient to express how grateful we both are to Nina Spada and Patsy Lightbown, the editors of the Oxford Key Concepts for the Language Classroom series, for giving us the opportunity to write this book and for patiently guiding us through the entire process of contributing to their series. Their insights, encouragement, and sage words of advice were invaluable. We are also grateful to Sophie Rogers and Julia Bell of Oxford University Press, and to Anna Cowper, for their help and support.

      We must acknowledge the work of numerous scholars upon whose shoulders this evidenced-based volume rests. A volume of this type would not be possible had they not written about their research, often making the students and teachers they had observed come alive for us. Just as importantly, we would like to thank the numerous teachers who have led us by allowing those researchers into their classrooms or by sharing their instructional efforts directly with us and the second language learners who have provided us with glimpses into their learning processes as they worked to become second-language literate.
