Editorial Reviews

Product Description

The influence of cognitive processing on second language acquisition (SLA), and on the development of second language (SL) instruction, has always been a subject of major interest to both SLA researchers and those involved in SL pedagogy. Recent theoretical research into SLA and SL pedagogy has shown renewed interest in the role of cognitive variables such as attention, short, working, and long term memory, and automaticity of language processing. This volume first examines the theoretical foundations of research into the cognitive processes underlying SLA, and then describes various implications for pedagogically oriented research and for SL classroom practice. This book's blend of research from the cognitive sciences and applied linguistics make it an excellent introduction to applied linguists and language teachers interested in the psycholinguistic processes underlying SLA.


Book Description

This an excellent introduction to psycholinguistics for applied linguists and language teachers

Inside This Book (learn more)
First Sentence:
The essential claim of this chapter is that the concept of attention is necessary in order to understand virtually every aspect of second language acquisition (SLA), including the development of interlanguages (ILs) over time, variation within IL at particular points in time, the development of L2 fluency, the role of individual differences such as motivation, aptitude and learning strategies in L2 learning, and the ways in which interaction, negotiation for meaning, and all forms of instruction contribute to language learning. Read the first page

5.0 out of 5 stars A great collection of articles, April 20, 2008
By Charlesparoles (New Jersey) - See all my reviews
A great text for those who are interested in researching the field of second language acquisition and for those research-minded teachers out there. You will not find an emphasis on pedagogical techniques per se but I see this volume as crucial to the understanding of the language learner. It is a worthwhile addition to your library and a useful companion to the more recent "Handbook of Cognitive Linguistics and Second Language Acquisition" BUY BOTH in my opinion.
