Abstract:

PORTRAITS OF THE L2 USER
Edited by Vivian Cook (University of Essex)

KEY FEATURES

Provides a unique overview of second language acquisition, theories,
results and methods, related to a common theme.  Serves as an
introduction to current SLA research and as an account of the L2
user. Intended for students and researchers working with second
language use and acquisition in psychology, SLA research,
bilingualism, linguistics and language teaching

DESCRIPTION
Portraits of the L2 User treats second language users in
their own right rather than as failed native speakers. It describes a
range of psychological and linguistic approaches to diverse topics
about L2 users. It thus provides an innovative overview of
current second language acquisition theories, results and methods,
seen from a common perspective.
