The world's communication problems would all but disappear if we could all, by just switching a button, be able to communicate in the language of our interlocutor. Alas that button does not exist. Instead languages need to be acquired and the process of acquisition is anything but simply switching on a button. It is a time consuming, often frustrating, often amusing, always taxing but ultimately rewarding experience. The time consuming component of acquisition is not a situation where one toils laboriously for years to finally, one morning, awake to find that, from having nothing the night before, total acquisition has miraculously occurred. Acquisition occurs throughout the time that the learner is engaged in trying to acquire. This paper will give an overview of evidence that suggests various features in second language acquisition (SLA) occur in sequences and that overall development of SLA seems to do so along a continuum that has some order. It will outline the research that points toward this being so, but also will show that some research is less convincing in this regard. Once it has been shown that the research to date strongly supports specific developmental sequences being apparent in SLA, the paper will then turn to outlining the effects these sequences may have on pedagogical practices in SLA.
