Summary

In this chapter we establish what is already known about the phenomena and issues which we will be studying in later chapters; we also identify what is not known, that is, the research gaps. Following on from the brief introductions in Chapter 1, we review the literature on word search sequences as well as on CDST and its principles. We also examine relevant CA and CDST studies on L2 development.
