I will show that there have been changes in how crosslinguistic variation is accounted for, leading to changes in claims about effects of the mother tongue in L2 acquisition. In the 1980s, research centred on the availability of principles of UG to adult learners, as well as the question of whether or not parameters of UG can be reset. In the 1990s, focus narrowed to a consideration of grammatical features (such as tense, agreement, number, gender, etc.), particularly the question of whether new features can be acquired. More recently, there has been yet another shift, current emphasis being on interfaces between the linguistic system and grammar external components (e.g. syntax/discourse), or between different modules of grammar (syntax/morphology; morphology/phonology; syntax/semantics; etc.). These changes in focus have led to revisions in how researchers account for successes and failures in L2 acquisition. k-2 Attention, Awareness, ‘Noticing’ and Foreign Language Learning Richard Schmidt (The University of Hawaii The Noticing Hypothesis –the idea that SLA is largely driven by what learners pay attention to and notice in target language input (Schmidt 2001)—has been around for approximately two decades now, and continues to generate s
