Although there has been continuous debate over many years about the place of authentic discourse and materials in language learning, Alex Gilmore's review article in this issue is the first to review and debate many of the key issues and research in this area in a systematic way. His paper places the use of authentic material in historical context, showing how the arguments for and against the use of such material in textbooks go back a long way. After discussing the thorny issue of definition, he addresses four key areas of current concern and examines some of the reasons behind the perceived resistance to curriculum and textbook changes.

Our reviews of work in national publications return with a review by Steve Cornwell, Andrea Simon-Maeda and Eton Churchill of selected research on language education published in English in Japan from 2000 to 2006. In their article, the authors attempt to show the academic diversity and intellectual depth of current research agendas in Japan, with particular reference to current topics such as language policy issues, team-teaching, World Englishes, multilingualism, interlanguage pragmatics, and motivation.

Richard Johnstone's article in which he reviews research on language teaching, learning and policy published in 2004 and 2005 is available online in Language Teaching 39.4 (2006), at http://journals.cambridge.org/jid_LTA.

From 2008, a new section of the journal will be dedicated to academic studies which use a replication approach. We invite submissions of previously unpublished articles based on LITERAL, APPROXIMATE OR CONSTRUCTIVE REPLICATION OF A PREVIOUS STUDY OR STUDIES of an aspect of L2 education. In keeping with the survey characteristics of Language Teaching, we also encourage submissions of META-ANALYSES which attempt to combine or synthesise a series of comparable research replications.

This article reviews some of the wide-ranging issues and research surrounding authentic materials and authenticity in foreign language learning. After a brief historical overview and a discussion of some of the definitional ambiguities associated with authenticity, the paper goes on to discuss four important areas of concern: i) the gap between authentic and textbook discourse; ii) the English-as-a-world-language debate; iii) authenticity and motivation; iv) text difficulty and task design and their effects on language acquisition. The article concludes by examining some of the reasons behind resistance to change in curriculum and materials design and possible future directions.

This review presents selected research on language education published in English in Japan from 2000 to 2006. In an attempt to show the academic diversity and intellectual depth of current research agendas in Japan, it looks at the following areas: LANGUAGE POLICY, in which recent government mandates are outlined, including a stronger focus on English education in elementary school; TEAM-TEACHING situations that are commonly found at the high school and junior high school level; TESTING and PLACEMENT, focusing on entrance exams and placement exams which can be a driving force behind many classroom practices and continue to be the focus of considerable criticism; BILINGUALISM, which is receiving more and more attention in Japan as the number of returnees, children of bi-cultural families and other English-speaking Japanese nationals increases; WORLD ENGLISHES, reflecting the reality that many adult Japanese speakers of English interact with speakers from Outer and Expanding Circle countries; INTERLANGUAGE PRAGAMATICS, which is attracting more and more researchers interested in cross-cultural differences and interlanguage development; MOTIVATION, which continues to receive a great deal of attention and has been examined in a more nuanced approach of late; WRITING, in light of its importance in many educational settings; and GENDER and its interconnectedness to EFL learning and use.
