In the era of globalization, second language acquisition (SLA) research has emerged as a vital component within both linguistic and educational studies. Discourse analysis, as a pivotal tool for comprehending language use and communication, has gained increasing scholarly attention in its interdisciplinary research with SLA. The Routledge Handbook of Second Language Acquisition and Discourse, edited by Brian Paltridge and Matthew T. Prior, compiles cutting-edge research findings from leading scholars worldwide in this domain. It systematically explores the essential role of discourse in the SLA process, offering not only novel research perspectives and methodologies for SLA researchers but also invaluable references and guidance for educators, language learners, and policymakers. This review commences with an examination of the background, followed by an in-depth evaluation of the handbook’s structural organization, theoretical contributions, research methodologies, practical applications, and future prospects, aiming to shed lights on its academic significance and practical implications within the field.
