Editorial: Special issue in honour of Diane Larsen-Freeman’s contributions to language teaching and second language development

Abstract

We are pleased to announce the latest edition of this special issue of LTRQ in honour of Professor Diane Larsen-Freeman to celebrate her landmark achievements and enormous influence in language teaching, language learning, second language development, and teacher education. As the major papers we assembled in this special issue have provided a comprehensive review of Diane’s celebratory career as a language teacher, researcher, book author, journal and book editor, and teacher educator, in this editorial, we will just briefly discuss and summarize the different sections of papers that are targeting the major themes of areas where Diane’s long-lasting influence has been felt.
