A propos du livre

Revue de presse

This excellent volume offers a clear and engaging description of central topics in second language acquisition research, and highlights the connection between research findings, formal and informal learning contexts, and teaching practices. I have no doubt that this volume will soon become an invaluable resource for teachers and students alike. --Gessica De Angelis, Trinity College Dublin, Ireland

This book provides a welcome, very readable introduction to second language learning, angled at university students as well as those with a general interest in the subject. It is also very teacher-friendly. Readers will not only be suitably informed but will also find plenty to intrigue them about language and its acquisition. --Mike Sharwood-Smith, Academy of Social Sciences, Warsaw, Poland

Vibrant, prescient, honest, enjoyable... such is the view of SLA that Cook and Singleton have crafted in this unmatchable book! The palette of 8 topics covers yet transcends the box of traditional SLA and the wealth of interactive illustrations fully situates adult language acquisition in present-day realities. A must-own SLA title. --Lourdes Ortega, Georgetown University, USA
