Product Description

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. The 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

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 very useful and comprehensive book, 31 Dec 2001
By A Customer
This book is so interesting. Many books on language teaching only describe what teachers do. This book talks about the language learner, and their ways of thinking. It describes the importnace of attention and memory, and also how language is processed. then it talks about how to use this information to teach languages. The chapter on focus on form by Doughty is long, and very interesting. I think all teachers and L2 researchers should have this. It is one of the most exciting books on learning and teaching I have read. it is so comprehensive!!
