Abstract:

Now in its second edition, this highly accessible introductory
textbook establishes the fundamentals driving the field of second
language (L2) acquisition research, including its historical
foundations. Intended for the novice in the field with no background
in linguistics or psycholinguistics, it explains important linguistic
concepts, and how and why they are relevant to second language
acquisition. Topics are presented via a 'key questions' structure that
enables the reader to understand how these questions have motivated
research in the field, and the problems to which researchers are
seeking solutions. This edition has been fully updated to incorporate
new research, with a new chapter focusing on language transfer, and
new sections on the growing field of third and subsequent language
acquisition, and how the acquisition of phonology reflects the key
questions. With discussion questions and project ideas as well as a
glossary, this is a complete package for an introductory course on
second language acquisition.

Written In: English (eng)
