The generative approach to second language acquisition (SLA) applies theoretical tools developed within the field of Generative Linguistics to the study of how second languages are learned by adults and children. Research is conducted in syntax, phonology, morphology, phonetics and semantics.

Prominent researchers include: Lydia White (McGill University), Bonnie Schwartz (University of Hawaii), and Suzanne Flynn (MIT).

Research in generative second language acquisition is presented at a range of conferences, including: GASLA (Generative Approaches to Second Language Acquisition), GALANA (Generative Approaches to Language Acquisition - North America), and BUCLD (Boston University Conference on Language Development).
