Introducing Second Language Acquisition by Muriel Saville-Troike
This accessible textbook provides a clear and practical introduction to second language acquisition (SLA). Introducing in a step-by-step fashion a range of fundamental concepts in the study of SLA, it is set to become the leading introduction to the field for students of linguistics, psychology, education, and trainee language teachers.
"When i received this book, I was five weeks into my introduction to SLA graduate seminarI found Sayville-Troike's text helpful in organizing some of the remaining content of my course. By structuring an SLA course around the main questions the field investigates, Saville-Troke focuses students' attention on the important issues that illuminate the study of SLA. The adaptable nature of the book also makes it ideal for courses that include both undergraduate and graduating students, and for courses that have both students who intend to continue taking courses in SLA, and those who do not. Saville-Troike's text is a timely and welcome addition to the profession." - Wynne Wong, Ohio State University
