This singular new textbook is both an introduction to the major
theories of second language acquisition and a practical proposal
for their application to language learning courses. It explains and
evaluates these theories, and focuses on recent research that has
enriched thinking about the best ways to facilitate communicative
effectiveness in an L2. It then suggests practical applications
regarding language planning, curriculum development, pedagogy,
materials development, teacher development, and assessment,
establishing a tangible connection between theory and practice.
Unlike many SLA books which are narrowly focused on the acquisition
of language, it explores the roles of factors such as pragmatics,
para-linguistic signals, gesture, semiotics, multi-modality,
embodied language, and brain activity in L2 communication. SLA
Applied connects research-based theories to the authors' and
students' real-life experiences in the classroom, and stimulates
reflection and creativity through the inclusion of Readers' Tasks
in every chapter. This engaging and relevant text is suitable for
students in Applied Linguistics or TESOL courses, trainee teachers,
researchers, and practitioners.
