The field of SLA is relatively new, but different classifications have been suggested for its development (Mitchell & Myles, 2004). Indeed, there is an anonymous agreement that the establishment of SLA as a field of enquiry goes back to 1950s- 1960s (Schachter, 1998). As for the classification proposed by Ellis (2009), one development dealt with the scope of the field of enquiry. While much of the earlier work had focused on the linguistic, and especially the grammatical properties of learner language, and was psycholinguistic in orientation, later work attended to the pragmatic aspects of learner language and increasingly, employed a sociolinguistic perspective. A second development concerned the increasing attention paid by SLA researchers to linguistic theory, in particular the theory of language associated with Chomsky's model of grammar: Universal Grammar. A third development was the marked increase in theory-led research. Whereas much of the earlier research was of the research-then-theory kind, typically consisting of the collection and analysis of samples of learner language, later research was increasingly theory-led and experimental in style.
