Abstract: Classroom-centered research on language use surrounding teaching and learning processes can provide much of the information needed to put modern language teaching on a scientific footing. The history of second language classroom research is briefly outlined, and the principal research methodologies are described. A critique is offered of current work, and a proposal made for the next decade. It is argued that priority needs to be given to high-valency, psycholinguistically motivated studies of both a basic and applied nature. Ten topics are identified that meet these requirements and that, it is felt, would merit early consideration in a national research agenda.
