Abstract:

Understanding Second Language Acquisition provides an approachable but
authoritative introduction to this area of linguistics. The basics are
carefully explained and there are pointers for further study. In this book,
the author concentrates on the essential notions involved rather than
arguing for a particular theoretical position.

The book has broad appeal as it offers a balanced treatment of the
linguistic, social, psychological and educational dimensions of SLA
research. It will be illustrated with examples of English and other languages.

This is the ideal book for both first year students of Applied Linguistics,
or anyone in a related discipline looking for a first introduction to
second language learning. 

Linguistic Field(s): Applied Linguistics
                     Language Acquisition

The LINGUIST List is under the umbrella of Eastern Michigan University and as such can 
receive donations through the EMU Foundation, which is a registered 501(c) Non Profit 
organization. Our Federal Tax number is 38-6005986. These donations can be offset against 
your federal and sometimes your state tax return (U.S. tax payers only). For more 
information visit the IRS Web-Site, or contact your financial advisor.

Many companies also offer a gift matching program, such that they will match any gift 
you make to a non-profit organization. Normally this entails your contacting your human 
resources department and sending us a form that the EMU Foundation fills in and returns 
to your employer. This is generally a simple administrative procedure that doubles the 
value of your gift to LINGUIST, without costing you an extra penny. Please take a moment 
to check if your company operates such a program.

Thank you very much for your support of LINGUIST!
