Introduction to the Special Issue: Papers from the Third Psychology of Language Learning Conference

Abstract

Welcome to the first issue of 2019 which is a special issue containing papers from the third Psychology of Language Learning Conference (PLL3) which took place at Waseda University in Tokyo from June 7-10 2018. We both had the pleasure of attending the whole conference and enjoying five excellent plenary sessions and dozens of high-quality and stimulating presentations over the four days. Summaries of more presentations were included in the 36 chapters of the Conference Collection edited Mynard and Brady (2018), but this special issue of SiSAL Journal features selected papers that were relevant to the scope of this journal. Greg Rouault (Tezukayama Gakuin University, Japan) and Colin Skeates (Keio University, Japan) provide a review of the conference which is included in the reviews section of this issue.
