Whether we grow up with one, two, or several languages during our
early years of life, many of us will learn a second, foreign, or
heritage language in later years. The field of Second language
acquisition (SLA, for short) investigates the human capacity to
learn additional languages in late childhood, adolescence, or
adulthood, after the first language --in the case of monolinguals--
or languages --in the case of bilinguals-- have already been
acquired. Understanding Second Language Acquisition offers a
wide-encompassing survey of this burgeoning field, its accumulated
findings and proposed theories, its developed research paradigms,
and its pending questions for the future. The book zooms in and out
of universal, individual, and social forces, in each case
evaluating the research findings that have been generated across
diverse naturalistic and formal contexts for second language
acquisition. It assumes no background in SLA and provides helpful
chapter-by-chapter summaries and suggestions for further reading.
Ideal as a textbook for students of applied linguistics, foreign
language education, TESOL, and education, it is also recommended
for students of linguistics, developmental psycholinguistics,
psychology, and cognitive science. Supporting resources for tutors
are available free at www.routledge.com/ortega.
