Much has happened over the past 12 months for the FL2 Team members, who have all been involved in other projects. However, we haven't abandoned FL2!  Data on the Spanish trial has been collected and analysed, and a new publication reporting on these new results will hopefully appear soon, so watch this space. There are also plans to trial the FL2 activities with ESL learners during 2019. If you would like to trial the FL2 activities in your teaching context, please do not hesitate to get in touch.
