Starting from the premise that language instruction should be
informed by how humans learn language, this module on second
language acquisition (SLA) aims to provide teachers at any level
with a comprehensive and up-to-date introduction to the key
findings about how second languages are learned in adulthood. This
module explores a variety of topics, including the mechanisms in
the mind responsible for language acquisition, the roles that input
and output play in acquisition, and how language develops in the
learner's mind over time. Furthermore, the module explores the many
factors believed to impact the outcome of SLA, such as the role of
the native language, individual differences in aptitude and
motivation, and age of acquisition.
This third edition of the best-selling Theories in Second Language
Acquisition surveys the major theories currently used in second
language acquisition (SLA) research, serving as an ideal
introductory text for undergraduate and graduate students in SLA
and language teaching. Designed to provide a consistent and
coherent presentation for those seeking a basic understanding of
the theories that underlie contemporary SLA research, each chapter
focuses on a single theory. Chapters are written by leading
scholars in the field and incorporate a basic foundational
description of the theory, relevant data or research models used
with this theory, common misunderstandings, and a sample study from
the field to show the theory in practice. New to this edition is a
chapter addressing the relationship between theories and L2
teaching, as well as refreshed coverage of all theories throughout
the book. A key work in the study of second language acquisition,
this volume will be useful to students of linguistics, language and
language teaching, and to researchers as a guide to theoretical
work outside their respective domains.
