This Handbook covers a broad range of topics, divided into several major sections, including:

- concepts and principles as related to second language development;
- concept-based instruction;
- dynamic assessment and other assessment based on sociocultural theory (SCT);
- literacy and content-based language teaching;
- bilingual/multilingual education;
- SCT and technology; and

This is the ideal resource for graduate students and researchers working in the areas of SLA and second language development.
