TAML2 brought together researchers, coming from many different countries, working on different aspects of the acquisition, learning and teaching of TAM in second languages.The conference responded to a widely recognised need for an updated knowledge base and innovative methodological tools in the study of temporal and modal representations in a second language (L2) or additional language. It aimed to complement previous research perspectives by providing a dynamic exploration of recent, up-to-date issues in contemporary research.We expect that the conference will allow us in the future to improve our vision of:linguistic theorysecond language learningsecond language acquisition (SLA)language teachingthe study of heritage languagesWe discussed both theoretical and pedagogical implications of the research on acquisition and learning of TAM.Our goal was to gain insight into the acquisition and learning of TAM representations in a second or additional language. The conference strengthened networks of scholars working on SLA from different perspectives.All presenters were invited to submit their work for the selected proceedings of the conference, which will be published as a special issue by an international journal.Plenary speakersOur confirmed plenary speakers were:Antonella Sorace Bilingualism Matters, The University of EdinburghFind out more about Antonella's researchIraide Ibarretxe-Antuñano Universidad de Zaragoza Find out more about Iraide's researchEloi Puig-Mayenco King’s College London Find out more about Eloi's researchProject Teoría-ELESpeakers from Project Teoría-ELE included:Alfonso Zamorano Aguilar Universidad de CórdobaFind out more about Alfonso's researchMaría Martínez-Atienza de Dios Universidad de CórdobaFind out more about María's researchFind out more about Project Teoría-ELEOrganising committeeLourdes Barquín Sanmartín, The University of EdinburghHugo Lázaro Ruiz, The University of EdinburghVerónica Márquez Moreno, The University of EdinburghMario Saborido Beltrán, The University of EdinburghElena Solá-Simón, University of StrathclydeCarlos Soler Montes, The University of EdinburghRoser Vich Gallego, The University of EdinburghScientific committeeLourdes Barquín Sanmartín, The University of EdinburghLlorenç Comajoan-Colomé, Universitat de VicPaz González González, Universiteit LeidenLucía Quintana Hernández, Universidad de HuelvaM.
