Abstract:
Despite the existence of a vast growing literature on second language acquisition (SLA) research and a heated debate among second language (L۲) researchers about the applicability of research to practice, there is scanty empirical evidence in this area (Nassaji, ۲۰۱۲). Accordingly, this paper reports on a study investigating in-service teachers' perspectives on the interface between SLA research and L۲ teaching. A total number of ۱۱۹ English language teachers responded to a questionnaire which collected both qualitative and quantitative data. The results revealed teachers' familiarity with SLA research. Although they held positive views towards the relevance of SLA research to language teaching practice, a low percentage of them indicated that they seek insights from research articles. Lack of time and ability were the most frequently reported reasons for not conducting SLA research. Similarly, teachers' lack of time and the difficulty associated with SLA research articles were the most frequently reported reasons for not reading these articles. Majority of the teachers appeared to conceive of teachers' and researchers' works as related and connected. However, in almost all cases a considerably higher percentage of MA teachers than their BA counterparts viewed SLA research as more relevant and useful for teaching purposes. Teachers also expressed their expectations from SLA research to address practical issues. Further, they highlighted practical aspects of SLA research as more relevant to their practice.
