This paper reviews some philosophical literature which argues that falsification is difficult, if not impossible to achieve. In the applied linguistics literature, there is the claim that successful SLA is the result of social, psychological, and affective factors. The argument that this claim has been falsified is examined and is found to be untenable. Various problems with falsification as a strategy in SLA theory construction and evaluation are discussed, and an argument is made that exploration of constructs to generate new formulations is a more productive approach to SLA theory building.
