This volume, focusing on Japanese as a second language (JSL), is part of the Language acquisition and language disorders series by Benjamins. As the editor points out in the introductory chapter, there is a pressing need to investigate the acquisition of languages other than English and other European languages if SLA claims to be a discipline broad enough to encompass acquisition of any second language (L2). In particular, given the importance of Japanese as one of the most commonly studied languages in Asia and the fact that Japanese has many linguistic features not found in European languages, research on the acquisition of JSL should have important implications for both practical applications in language teaching and theoretical investigation of language universals, innate principles, and the like.

Language teachers can easily get caught up in the mechanics and outcome-based instruction of language teaching. Too often, the pedagogic relationship between the language teacher and learner are defined according to the narrowly defined discourse and task-based nature of the learning task designed for language acquisition. Pushing back the boundaries on this relationship and opening up opportunities for self-expression and self exploration through an introductory task termed Self Maps helps teachers and students to move beyond formulaic introductory exchanges and express themselves more deeply in their unique and singular individuality. 語学教師は授業の際、文の構造や学習の成果についとらわれがちである。また多くの場合、語学教師と学習者の関係は、言語習得のためにデザインされた、狭義でのディスコースやタスクに基づく学習活動の性質によって決まってしまう。この両者の間の境界を押し広げ、セルフマップという自己紹介活動を通して自己表現と自己探求の機会を与えることにより、教師と学習者は紋切り型の自己紹介を超え、個々の唯一無二の個性をより深く表現できるようになる。
