This paper argues that the starting-point for language teaching should be the recognition that the second language (L2) user is a particular lund of person in their own right with their own knowledge of the first language (Ll) and the L2, rather than a monolingual with an added L2. An L2 user is a person who uses another language for any purpose at whatever level (Cook, 2002a), and thus is not covered by most definitions of either bilinguals or L2 learners. They might be writers like Nabokov or Conrad creating novels, ethnic minority children acting as translators for their parents in medical consultations, tourists travelling on holiday, terrorists training for action, journalists plyng their trade, businessmen doing deals on the internet, jockeys gwing television interviews. Some L2 users acquired their second language through practical living, others after long study in the classroom; some need it for survival in everyday existence, others for amusement, pleasure to education. In short L2 users are as diverse as the rest of humanity. Their needs and uses of language are as wide as monolinguals, if not wider.
