Abstract:

The last few years have witnessed exponential growth in research
output within the field of language aptitude. With contributions from
an international team of leading experts, this volume provides the
most comprehensive, authoritative and up-to-date overview of
developments in language aptitude theory and practice. It addresses
central and newly emerging methodological and theoretical issues, and
revisits and re-examines the most popular language aptitude tests,
including the most durable and innovative batteries. It also provides
in-depth demonstrations of language aptitude research paradigms,
including well-established and emerging ones, scrutinizing them from
multidisciplinary perspectives. Aptitude treatment interactions
studies are reported and discussed, and pedagogical implications are
provided, to illuminate theory construction, test development,
policymaking, curriculum design and classroom practice. Seamlessly
integrating theory, research, assessment and practice, it is essential
reading for anyone seeking to learn more about language learning,
training and teaching, and will further advance the research in this
exciting, fast-paced field.
