I am looking for a chapter-length (30 to 40 pp.) reading introducing
2nd-language acquisition theory to undergraduate teacher-ed students. I
have checked the following intro textbooks and not liked their chapters
on the subject for various reasons:

Grabe & Kaplan 1992, Intro to App Ling (too old)
O'Grady et al. 4th edition Contemp. Ling. (too hard)
Language Files 8th ed. (no L2 chapter)
Finegan 3rd ed.
Akmajian et al. 3rd ed.
Parker and Riley (old ed.)
Fromkin & Rodman 6th ed.

I'm looking for a balanced view that is current, i.e. includes
interlanguage, recent findings on age differences, learning styles,
etc., but is not overly focused on Universal Grammar. I'd like more than
a skim of the age and affective factor issues. The reading also has to
be in and about American English.

Any leads would be greatly appreciated!! Thanks! I will summarize.
