Working within a range of different theoretical frameworks, (eg formal and functional grammar, Conversation Analysis) research focuses on adult L2 learning of morphosyntax, vocabulary, phonology and discourse, in a wide range of languages including Czech, Chinese, English, French, German, Hungarian, Spanish, Slovak, Thai, as well as artificial and semi-artificial languages. Researchers examine the language learning process in learners at the earliest stages of exposure to a new language, as well as those with high levels of proficiency.
