Abstract:

Please Note: This is a new edition of a previously announced book.

Second Language Learning Theories provides a clear and concise overview of the
field of second language acquisition (SLA) theories. Written by a team of
leading academics working in different SLA specialisms, this book provides
expert analysis of the main theories from multiple perspectives to offer a
broad and balanced introduction to the topic.

The book covers all the main theoretical perspectives currently active in the
SLA field and sets them in a broader perspective per chapter, e.g. linguistic,
cognitive or sociolinguistic. Each chapter examines how the various theories
view language, the learner and the acquisition process. Summaries of key
studies and examples of data relating to a variety of languages illustrate the
different theoretical perspectives. Each chapter concludes with an evaluative
summary of the theories discussed. This third edition has been thoroughly
updated to reflect the very latest research in the field of SLA.

Key features include a fully re-worked chapter on cognitive models of
language, a new chapter on information processing, including language
production and comprehension, the addition of a glossary of key linguistic
terms to help the non-specialist, and a new timeline of second language
learning theory development.

This third edition takes account of the significant developments that have
taken place in the field in recent years. Highly active domains in which
theoretical and methodological advances have been made are treated in more
depth to ensure that this new edition of Second Language Learning Theories
remains as fresh and relevant as ever.

Linguistic Field(s): Applied Linguistics
