The theoretical and data-based findings make clear that learners need the capacity to make choices from across the entire language system, from morphology, syntax, and discourse features, which suggests that a less compartmentalized approach to understanding language use is needed within the field of linguistics . This book also explores curricular and instructional approaches to the centrality of narrative, vocabulary expansion, the demands on instructed programs for efficiency and effectiveness, and the ability to function in a professional context. Finally, it probes the dual role and nature--the what and how--of assessment--as a measurement tool for both researching language learning and for assessing learners as an essential component of their instruction.
