Fully updated throughout to reflect the most up-to-date research in the field, Introducing Second Language Acquisition: Perspectives and Practices, Second Edition, represents a clear and concise introduction to the main concepts, issues, and debates in second language acquisition studies, aimed specifically at students encountering the topic for the first time. In this second edition, a new structure of the book is introduced to include separate chapters on Theoretical Perspectives: Past and Present and Theoretical Perspectives: The Learner as Language Processor. New content also includes sections on Translanguaging, L2 academic language/literacy development, and Skill Acquisition Theory. This textbook combines a full range of engaging pedagogical features and comprehensive coverage, with an accessible and lighthearted approach which continues to appeal to students. With a focus on practical applications, discussions are backed up with references to the latest and most important research. The text aids student learning with language learning in practice textboxes; bolded new terms defined in the margins; an end-of-book glossary; self-assessment and classroom discussion questions; exercise and project ideas; and further online viewing sections. With a strong focus on the fundamentals, this is an innovative guide to second language acquisition ideal for introductory students in a range of disciplines.
