In this article I review studies published between 1996 and 2010 in which the effectiveness of Cognitive-Semantics informed second language pedagogy was put to the test. Altogether, the published evidence is manifestly favourable, although questions remain as to the scope of application of the approach and the precise properties that produce its positive effects. It must also be recognised that Cognitive Semantic ventures into language pedagogy stand a lot to gain from a closer collaboration with ‘mainstream’ applied linguistics, not only with regard to general insights into the nature of second language acquisition but also with regard to this type of research methodology.

Second language acquisition is the process of acquiring a second language. Second language acquisition also refers to the scientific discipline that looks at this process. Research on instructed second language acquisition can shed light on learning mechanisms and processes, helping to advance second language education. Professor Kaoru Koyanagi, who collected data from French students of Japanese at the National Institute for Oriental Languages and Civilizations in France, is exploring how learning mechanisms interact with other factors such as learners' aptitude, motivation, beliefs etc. to help uncover new knowledge that could contribute to Japanese language pedagogy.
