This textbook offers an introductory overview of eight
hotly-debated topics in second language acquisition research. It
offers a glimpse of how SLA researchers have tried to answer common
questions about second language acquisition rather than being a
comprehensive introduction to SLA research. Each chapter comprises
an introductory discussion of the issues involved and suggestions
for further reading and study. The reader is asked to consider the
issues based on their own experiences, thus allowing them to
compare their own intuitions and experiences with established
research findings and gain an understanding of methodology. The
topics are treated independently so that they can be read in any
order that interests the reader. The topics in question are: * how
different languages connect in the mind; * whether there is a best
age for learning a second language; * the importance of grammar in
acquiring and using a second language; * how the words of a second
language are acquired; * how people learn to write in a second
language; * how attitude and motivation help in learning a second
language; * the usefulness of second language acquisition research
for language teaching; * the goals of language teaching.
