STRATEGIES IN LEARNING AND USING A SECOND LANGUAGE
ANDREW D. COHEN
Professor in the Department of English as a Second Language,
University of Minnesota.
Paper 0-582-30588-8
312 pages 1998
Applied Linguistics and Language Study Series
Longman
'Strategies in Learning and Using a Second Language' explores the
topic of learner strategies - the ways in which language learners
engage with the process of learning and communicating in a new
language.
The introduction to the book sets out the main theoretical issues,
distinguishing language learning from language use strategies, and
describing the main research methods for their investigation. The
author presents innovative research linking the use of task-specific
strategies with language performance. The volume then presents
empirical research investigating the languages multilinguals select
for their verbalized thoughts during language learning and language
use. Finally, the author presents empirical research focusing on the
strategies learners use in language test-taking contexts.
The volume is intended primarily for language teachers and
researchers, as well as for administrators of second language
programs. It is also highly suitable for undergraduate and
postgraduate students of applied linguistics and will be of interest
to foreign language students, stimulating them to reflect on their
strategies for learning and using a second language. The chapters
present questions and raise areas for further discussion and study,
making the book suitable for those new to the field. At the same
time, the provision of important new research will appeal to those
with more advanced knowledge in the field.

ERRORS IN LANGUAGE LEARNING AND USE
CARL JAMES
Senior Lecturer in the Linguistics Department at the University of
Wales, Bangor.
Paper 0-582-25763-8
320 pages 1998
Applied Linguistics and Language Study Series
Longman
'Errors in Language Learning and Use' is an up-to-date introduction
and guide to the study of errors in language, and is also a critical
survey of previous work. Error Analysis occupies a central position
within Applied Linguistics, and seeks to clarify questions such as
`Does correctness matter?', `Is it more important to speak fluently
and write imaginatively or to communicate one's message?'
This book provides a scholarly and well-illustrated theoretical and
historical background to the field of Error Analysis. A range of
relevant questions is addressed such as whether native speakers make
errors, and whether `good English' for the native speaker is also good
for the foreign learner. The reader is led from definitions of error
and related concepts, to categorization of types of linguistic
deviance, discussion of error gravities, the utility of teacher
correction and towards writing learner profiles. Throughout, the book
is guided by considerable practical experience in language education
in a range of classroom contexts worldwide.
