For over four decades, her work has contributed substantially to the knowledge base of the field of applied linguistics, and her ideas have had a significant influence in a range of subfields, including immersion education, mainstream SLA, and sociocultural theory and SLA. The range of topics covered in the book reflects the breadth and depth of Swain’s contributions, expertise and interests. The volume is divided into four parts: immersion education, languaging, sociocultural perspectives on L2 teaching and learning, and developments in language as social action.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTrade Review\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003eIt is impossible to overstate the role Merrill Swain has played in shaping the fields of applied linguistics and second language education. Through this unique collection of original papers authored by leading L2 scholars from around the world, Haneda and Nassaji have created a testament to Merrill’s numerous contributions – including her foundational work on communicative competence, the output hypothesis, and languaging – that are certain to continue to inspire researchers and practitioners for years to come.\u003c\/p\u003e * Matthew E. Poehner, The Pennsylvania State University, USA *\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis volume is a fitting tribute to Swain’s distinguished career and lasting impact on the field. Her colleagues, disciples, and followers expand and apply several of the influential concepts that she brought to the fore of the field (pushed output, collaborative dialogue, languaging, etc.) in ways that advance theory and affect language learning practice.\u003c\/p\u003e * Marta Antón, Indiana University – Purdue University Indianapolis, USA *\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis volume is an impressive collection of chapters demonstrating the lifetime achievements of Merrill Swain in applied linguistics and second language education. As Jim Lantolf states in the foreword, Merrill ‘…has without question left an indelible mark on applied linguistics.’ This volume is clearly testimony to Merrill’s far-reaching influence on so many areas of language education.\u003c\/p\u003e * Richard Donato, University of Pittsburgh, USA *\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003ePreface: Jim Lantolf\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e Introduction: Mari Haneda \u0026amp; Hossein Nassaji\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e PART I: Immersion Education\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003col\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRoy Lyster: Pushing French Immersion Forward\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTara W.
