Abstract:

Editor's Note: This is a new edition of a previously announced title.

"Introducing Second Language Acquisition: Perspectives and Practices" provides
a clear and comprehensive introduction to the main concepts, issues, and
debates in second language acquisition studies. This introductory textbook is
aimed specifically at students encountering the topic for the first time. Each
chapter offers a modern layout with engaging pedagogical features such as
self-assessment and discussion questions, project ideas, and further reading
and viewing suggestions.

The second edition of "Introducing Second Language Acquisition: Perspectives
and Practices" has been fully updated to reflect the most recent scholarship
in the field. It introduces a new structure, featuring separate chapters on
theoretical perspectives which cover past and present approaches as well as
cognitive approaches. New content also includes sections on skill acquisition
theory, translanguaging, second language literacy development, and
multilingualism.

Written in accessible language and with a focus on practical applications,
this go-to textbook is a clear and concise introduction to second language
acquisition studies, offering lessons drawn from the latest leading research.
It is an ideal resource for students in applied linguistics and second
language education. 

This key text offers: 

•Comprehensive coverage of the latest research in second language acquisition
studies

•Improved organizational structure to promote greater student comprehension

•Engaging introduction to the theoretical underpinnings of second language
acquisition, with chapters on first language acquisition and bilingualism and
multilingualism

•Coverage of key topics including acquisition contexts, theoretical
perspectives, language teaching methods, and individual differences

•Pedagogical tools to aid student learning, including “language learning in
practice” textboxes, bolded terms defined in the margins, and an end-of-book
glossary

With a strong focus on the fundamentals, this second edition of Introducing
Second Language Acquisition stands as an innovative guide. This book is ideal
