Classroom and the Language Learner, The: by Leo Van Lier

This volume looks at classroom research in the second or foreign language classroom. The author notes that little is known about what happens in language lessons and how they may contribute to second language acquisition. He stresses the need to study classroom interaction in its social context and proposes an ethnographic approach to the subject, one which benefits the teachers doing action research and researchers investigating learning processes.
"It will impress scholars interested in classroom research and discourse analysis for its solid argumentation, excellent documentation, and multitude of examplesIn fact it should be required reading..." MLJ

Leo van Lier is Professor of Educational Linguistics at the Monterey Institute of International Studies, USA.
