Abstract: Current thinking within the field of second language acquisition (SLA) indicates that practice is indeed a key variable in L2 acquisition, at least in terms of the rate of learning and the long term success that learners come to enjoy in using the language fluently and accurately. This paper defines and discusses the construct of practice in L2 learning, followed by a discussion of the role of practice in L2 development. Finally, in the light of the demonstrated effect of practice, I present evidence of two computer-assisted language learning (CAAL) software applications that may accelerate students’ chances of improving their L2 classroom performance.
