概要	This article argues for the crucial role of alignment in second language acquisition, as conceptualized from a broadly sociocognitive perspective. We develop the notion of alignment, first in terms of general learning and next in relation to second language learning. We then provide an extended example of alignment-in-action, focusing on the coordinated activities of a Japanese junior high school student and her tutor as they study English. Next, we speculate on possible uses of the alignment concept in L2 research and teaching, and conclude by restating our claim－that alignment is a necessary and crucial requirement for L2 development.
