How do people learn nonnative languages? And is there one part or
function of our brains solely dedicated to language processing, or
do we apply our general information-processing abilities when
learning a new language? In this book, an interdisciplinary
collaboration of scholars and researchers presents an overview of
the latter approach to adult second language acquisition and brings
together, for the first time, a comprehensive picture of the latest
research on this subject. Clearly organized into four distinct but
integrated parts, "Mind and Context in Adult Second Language
Acquisition" first provides an introduction to
information-processing approaches and the tools for students to
understand the data. The next sections explain factors that affect
language learning, both internal (attention and awareness,
individual differences, and the neural bases of language
acquisition) and external (input, interaction, and pedagogical
interventions). It concludes by looking at two pedagogical
applications: processing instruction and content based instruction.
This important and timely volume is a must-read for students of
language learning, second language acquisition, and linguists who
want to better understand the information-processing approaches to
learning a non-primary language. This book will also be of immense
interest to language scholars, program directors, teachers, and
administrators in both second language acquisition and cognitive
psychology.
