Defining and operationalising L2 complexity (2012, background): “Furthermore, as studies conducted in a dynamic systems framework have shown, various developmental factors may interact and several sub-dimensions of CAF may compete, leading to nonlinear, U-shaped trends for some measures (Larsen-Freeman 2006; Verspoor, Lowie & Van Dijk 2008).”
Research into practice: Grammar learning and teaching (2015, positive): “Indeed, the efficacy of certain practices may be determined by a host of factors, such as learners’ literacy (Tarone & Bigelow 2005), their proficiency (Ammar & Spada 2006), or their goals (Larsen-Freeman 2006).”
Language Teacher Immunity: A Double-Edged Sword (2015, background): “…of studies have used the framework of CT to investigate second language learning phenomena in ways that prioritize adaptive and developmental processes across various timescales (Larsen-Freeman 2006; de Bot et al. 2007; MacIntyre and Legatto 2011; Gregersen et al. 2014; Dörnyei et al. 2015).”
Complexity, accuracy and fluency in second language acquisition (2009, background): “…the primary foci or even as the independent variables of investigation in SLA (e.g. Guillot 1999; Hilton, 2008; Housen, Pierrard and Van Daele 2005; Larsen-Freeman 2006; Lennon 2000; Riggenbach 2000; Robinson 2001; Segalowitz 2007; Skehan 1998; Skehan and Foster 2007; Tonkyn 2007; Towell 2007;…”
Dynamicity of perceived willingness to communicate, motivation, boredom and anxiety in Second Life: the case of two advanced learners of English (2019, background): “This finding shows that average individual (or group) data may often be insufficient to detect the variation within an individual (Boudreau, MacIntyre, & Dewaele, 2018; Larsen-Freeman, 2006).”
Transfer of Learning Transformed. (2013, methodology): “This may explain the waxing and waning of patterns used by L2 learners (Ellis & Larsen-Freeman, 2006; Larsen-Freeman, 2006).”
The Development of Complexity, Accuracy, and Fluency in Second Language Performance: A Longitudinal Study (2017, background): “For instance, Larsen-Freeman (2006) suggests that focusing on improving lexical variety may mean ignoring grammatical complexity.”
Written corrective feedback from sociocultural theoretical perspectives: A research agenda (2018, background): “Language development takes time and may not proceed in a linear fashion (see for example Larsen-Freeman 2006).”
Researching complex dynamic systems: ‘Retrodictive qualitative modelling’ in the language classroom (2011, background): “This point has been very clearly made by Larsen-Freeman (2006), who studied the language development of five Chinese learners of English.”
Case Study Research on Language Learning and Use (2014, background): “…also takes a longitudinal case-based approach to analyzing L2 development, use, and variability in an individual learner’s performance, by examining (among other things) the accuracy and complexity of the learner’s oral or written production at different points in time (e.g., Larsen-Freeman, 2006).”
The Dynamics of Second Language Emergence: Cycles of Language Use, Language Change, and Language Acquisition (2008, background): “Instead, they emerge from the dynamics of language usage (Bybee, 2005, in press; N. C. Ellis, 2003; N. C. Ellis & Larsen-Freeman, 2006a; Elman et al., 1996; MacWhinney, 1998, 1999).”
