This paper examines five issues within the field of Second Language
Acquisition (SLA): the philosophical basis of enquiry, the goals and scope of
SLA theory, methodology, the role of context, and the relationship of SLA
theory to language teaching practice. Divergent viewpoints on these issues are
summarized, discussed and evaluated.
