Volume III of the Handbook of Research in Second Language Teaching
and Learning, like Volumes I and II, is a comprehensive,
state-of-the-art overview of current research into social contexts
of second language (L2)/foreign language (FL) teaching and
learning; language policy; curriculum; types of instruction;
incremental language skills such as listening, speaking, reading,
writing, vocabulary, and grammar; international communication;
pragmatics; assessment and testing. It differs from earlier volumes
in its main purpose-to provide a more in-depth discussion and
detailed focus on the development of the essential language skills
required for any type of communication: speaking, listening,
reading, vocabulary, grammar, and writing. Volume III preserves
continuity with previous volumes in its coverage of all the
classical areas of research in L2/FL teaching and learning and
applied linguistics, but rather than offering a historical review
of disciplinary traditions, it explores innovations and new
directions of research, acknowledges the enormous complexity of
teaching and learning the essential language abilities, and offers
a diversity of perspectives. Chapter authors are all leading
authorities in their disciplinary areas. What's new in Volume III?
Updates the prominent areas of research, including the
sub-disciplines addressed in Volumes I and II, and represents the
disciplinary mainstays Considers and discusses perspectives held by
different schools of thought on the what, the how, and the why of
teaching foundational language skills, including theories,
pedagogical principles, and their implementation in practice
Captures new and ongoing developments and trends in the key areas
of L2/FL teaching and learning, and innovative research topics that
have gained substantial recognition in current publications,
including the role of corpora, technology, and digital literacy in
L2/FL teaching and learning Examines new trends in language
pedagogy and research, such as an increased societal emphasis on
teaching academic language for schooling, somewhat contradictory
definitions of literacy, and the growing needs for instruction in
intercultural communication.
