This book analyzes the construct of advanced proficiency in second language learning by bringing together empirical research from numerous linguistic domains and methodological traditions. Focusing on the dynamic nature of language use, the volume explores diverse manifestations of high-level second language Spanish, including performance on standardized proficiency assessments, acquisition of late-acquired linguistic structures, sophisticated language use in context, and individual differences. Chapters relate empirical findings to current definitions of advancedness, challenging scholars and practitioners to re-consider existing conceptualizations, and propose possible directions for future research and teaching with second language speakers of Spanish. By addressing larger issues in the field of second language learning, the volume is a valuable reference for language teachers, scholars, professionals and students with an interest in second language acquisition generally, and second language Spanish, more specifically.

Increasing globalization presents both challenges and opportunities to the higher education sector. This pioneering book shows how interaction between the two fields of foreign language pedagogy and second language acquisition (SLA) can facilitate more effective language development at an advanced level. Establishing a new research agenda to describe, assess, and study high-level language use, it uses mixed-methods analyses within a sociocognitive framework to explore constructs such as second language (L2) identity and critical language awareness as essential components of multilingualism and global citizenship. It approaches L2 advancedness from multiple perspectives, examining the L2 learner and their understanding of advanced language use, highlighting individual differences among foreign-language professionals regarding high-level language use, positing the need for unified departmental missions, and analysing alternative constructs to assess L2 advancedness. Throughout, analyses of quantitative and qualitative data are used to demonstrate the multiple dimensions of advanced second language use in higher education.

This work identifies developmental stages in the acquisition of object pronouns by instructed second language learners of Spanish. It examines learners ranging from beginner to advanced, where the most advanced are themselves teachers of Spanish language courses. Study abroad experience is also a variable in the data. The book explores language production from a functionalist perspective, examining form-to-function and function-to-form mappings. It provides insights into related developments in production, placement and processing of object pronouns. Detailed analysis reveals that the most powerful predictor of performance across levels and within levels for each of these is the level of the learner.Formal instruction and the study abroad experience is examined, both the specific instruction on object pronouns and overall exposure to instruction.

"Puntos de encuentro" is an innovative task- and content-based textbook that rethinks Advanced Spanish instruction. Based on research on second language acquisition in the classroom, it combines language-as-discourse instruction with content-based learning. "Puntos de encuentro" emphasizes the analysis of spoken and written texts drawn from real-world sources, such as journalism, history, literature, and film. Students reflect on language forms and functions in context; then, through task-based, collaborative activities, they process language and content at higher levels by synthesizing information, distinguishing opinions from facts, drawing comparisons, or debating points of view. The source materials have been carefully selected to introduce students to relevant and engaging issues in the Spanish-speaking world, such as the environment, human rights, indigenism, immigration, or bilingualism. In order to understand these topics better, students are asked to compare Spanish-speaking societies with their own, promoting cross-cultural awareness. Using the analysis of complex, contemporary issues as means to achieve advanced proficiency in Spanish results in more language production and increased multicultural understanding, while enhancing critical thinking skills. This groundbreaking approach makes Puntos de encuentro unique among Advanced Spanish textbooks. MarIa J. de la Fuente holds a Ph.D. in Spanish and second language acquisition from Georgetown University. She is currently an associate professor at The George Washington University, where she directs the Spanish language program. The author of several research articles in the field of task-based language learning, she is the current Editor in Chief of the "Open Journal of Modern Linguistics." She has also authored the task-based Spanish textbook "Gente." Beatriz Cobeta received her B.A. in Spanish language and literature and her M.A in teaching Spanish as a second language from the Universidad AutUnoma de Madrid and the UNED, respectively. She has been a teaching instructor and coordinator of Spanish language at The George Washington University since 2007, and is also currently a research associate at Oberlin College."
