Now in its third edition Introduction to Instructed Second Language Acquisition continues to present a structured comprehensive introduction to ISLA's theoretical empirical and pedagogical themes as well as a range of key issues in research and practice. Designed for ease of teaching the text includes separate sections for empirical evidence and pedagogical implications in order to demonstrate how research findings can successfully be implemented in the classroom. Activities and discussion questions as well as points for reflection facilitate discursive learning and critical thinking. This third edition has been thoroughly updated to reflect the latest developments in the field along with new chapters on psychological cognitive and social individual differences respectively. This is an essential core text for courses on ISLA and recommended reading for classes in Language Acquisition more broadly.|Introduction to Instructed Second Language Acquisition | Linguistics
