Introducing Second Language Acquisition (Cambridge Introductions to Language and Linguistics)

Introducing Second Language Acquisition (Cambridge Introductions to Language and Linguistics) By Muriel Saville-Troike
2005 | 216 Pages | ISBN: 0521794072 | PDF | 6 MB


Written for students encountering the topic for the first time, this introduction explains in non-technical language how a second language is acquired; what the second language learner needs to know; and why some learners are more successful than others. The textbook logically introduces a range of fundamental concepts--such as SLA in adults and children, formal and informal learning contexts, and diverse socio-cultural settings. It takes an interdisciplinary approach, encouraging students to consider SLA from linguistic, psychological and social perspectives.
