The Handbook of Second Language Acquisition by Catherine J Doughty

The Handbook of Second Language Acquisition by Catherine J Doughty

"The Handbook of Second Language Acquisition" presents an integrated discussion of key, and sometimes controversial, issues in second language acquisition (SLA) research. Written by 27 of the world's leading scholars, the chapters reflect the diversity and technicality that have come to characterize SLA research. Topics discussed include the biological and cognitive underpinnings of SLA; mechanisms, processes, and constraints on SLA; the level of ultimate attainment; research methods; and the status of SLA as a cognitive science. This volume is an invaluable resource for all students and scholars of human cognition, including those in linguistics, psychology, applied linguistics, ESL, foreign languages, and cognitive science.

Catherine J. Doughty is Associate Professor in the Department of Second Language Studies at the University of Hawai'i, Manoa. Her research examines the cognitive underpinnings of pedagogical interventions, instructed SLA, focus on form, and negotiation of meaning. She is the author of Focus on Form in Second Language Acquisition (1998). Michael H. Long is Professor in the Department of Second Language Studies at the University of Hawai'i, Manoa. He is the author of numerous books and articles on second language acquisition, including Problems in SLA (forthcoming), and in 1991 received TESOL's International Research Prize.
