Abstract:

The initial state of learner spontaneous input processing in foreign language
learning, as well as the extent to which this processing leads to intake, is
of central importance to theoreticians and teachers alike. In this collection
of original studies, leading experts examine a range of issues, such as what
learners do when faced with a language they know little or nothing about, what
factors appear to mediate beginning learners' processing of input, how
beginners treat two types of information - form and meaning - in the input,
and how adult cognition deals with stimulus frequency at this initial stage.
This book provides a microscopic view on learners' processing of foreign
language input at the early stages of learning, and evaluates a variety of
methodological options within the context of ab initio processing of foreign
languages other than English, such as German, Korean, Norwegian, Polish, and
Spanish.
