Abstract:

The purpose of this book is to present recent studies in the field of
multilingualism and L3, bringing together contributions from an international
group of specialists from Austria, Canada, Germany, Portugal, Spain,
Switzerland, Turkey, and United States. The main focuses of the articles are
three: language acquisition, language learning and teaching.

A collection of theoretical and empirical articles from scholars of
multilingualism and language acquisition makes the book a significant resource
as the papers present a wide perspective from main theories to current issues,
reflecting new trends in the field.

The authors focus on the heterogeneity and complexity that characterize third
language acquisition, multilingual learning and teaching. As the issues
addressed in this book intersect, it represents an asset and therefore the
texts will be of great relevance for the scientific community.

Part I presents different topics of L3 acquisition, such as syntax, phonology,
working memory and selective attention, and lexicon. Part II comprises texts
that show how the research on language acquisition informs pedagogical issues.
For instance, the role of the knowledge of previous languages in the teaching
of L3, the attitudes of multilingual teachers to plurilingual approaches, and
the benefits of crosslinguistic pedagogy versus classroom monolingual bias. In
sequence, Part III consists of texts on individual learning strategies, such
as motivation and attitudes, crosslinguistic awareness, and students’
perceptions about teachers’ “plurilingual nonnativism”.

All these chapters include several different languages in contact in an
acquisition/learning context: Basque, English, French, German, Italian, Ladin,
Portuguese, Russian, Spanish, and Turkish.
