Theories in Second Language
Acquisition seeks to build on the strengths of the first
edition by surveying the major theories currently used in second
language acquisition research. This volume is an ideal
introductory text for undergraduate and graduate students in SLA
and language teaching. Each chapter focuses on a single theory,
written by a leading scholar in the field in an easy-to-follow
style – a basic foundational description of the theory, relevant
data or research models used with this theory, common
misunderstandings, and a sample study from the field to show the
theory in practice. This text is designed to provide a consistent
and coherent presentation for those new to the field who seek
basic understanding of theories that underlie contemporary SLA
research. Researchers will also find the book useful as a "quick
guide" to theoretical work outside their respective domains.
