Description: About this productProduct InformationWritten 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.Product IdentifiersPublisherCambridge University PressISBN-100521794072ISBN-139780521794077eBay Product ID (ePID)45980535Product Key FeaturesPublication Year2005LanguageEnglishDimensionsWeight15.4 OzWidth6.9in.Height0.7in.Length9.7in.Additional Product FeaturesFormatPerfectDewey Edition23Table of Content1.

I found Sayville-Troike's text helpful in organizing some of the remaining content of my course. By structuring an SLA course around the main questions the field investigates, Saville-Troke focuses students' attention on the important issues that illuminate the study of SLA. The adaptable nature of the book also makes it ideal for courses that include both undergraduate and graduating students, and for courses that have both students who intend to continue taking courses in SLA, and those who do not. Saville-Troike's text is a timely and welcome addition to the profession." - Wynne Wong, Ohio State UniversityLccn2006-295571
