Overview
Debates in Second Language Education provides an up-to-date account of the key debates and areas of controversy in the field of second language learning and teaching. Adopting a broad and comparative perspective and emphasising the importance of considering a variety of learning contexts, it encourages students and practising teachers to engage with contemporary issues and developments in learning and teaching.
Chapters are designed to stimulate thinking and understanding in relation to theory and practice, and help language educators to make informed judgements by arguing from a position based on theoretical knowledge and understanding. Bringing together leading contributors in the field, the book discusses a wide range of issues relating to second language learning and teaching including:
- the relationship between age and success in language learning
- aptitude versus motivation as predictors of successful language learning
- linguistic diversity and plurilingualism
- the teaching of grammar and vocabulary
- the value of phonics
- learning pronunciation
- the second language only versus the multilingual debate
With reflective points in every chapter,ćDebates in Second Language Educationćwill be a valuable resource for any student or practising teacher, as well as for those engaged in initial teacher education, continuing professional development or Master's level study. It will also be of interest to second language acquisition researchers and those studying applied linguistics.
