Description and Table of Contents
Description
In its first two editions 'Second Language Learning and Language Teaching' has been a world-wide best-seller, and is admired for its ability to show students interested in becoming language teachers the relevance of second language learning research and theory.
The 3rd edition has been prepared following feedback from teachers using the first two editions. It offers a much fuller discussion of language teaching and, in particular, highlights some of the places where second language acquisition research contradicts standard language teaching beliefs by analysing some standard TEFL handbooks and coursebooks from different countries. In addition, there is increased emphasis on the importance of the student's becoming an independent L2 user. Despite the extensive updating and revision, the broad framework and approach of the successful second edition have been maintained.
