9780194372176: A Cognitive Approach to Language Learning (Oxford Applied Linguistics)

Synopsis

This book has two major themes: firstly, it discusses psycholinguistic and cognitive aspects of language learning, and secondly, it looks at the contrast between universalist accounts of language learning and accounts which focus on individual differences between learners. Interwoven throughout is a focus on practical applications of these themes in task-based learning and language testing.

Review

'Peter Skehan systematically analyzes minute increments of carefully presented data and succeeds in foregrounding areas of investigation that have been underrepresented in the second language acquisition research of recent years.' (Kenneth W Mildenberger Award Committee)
