Linguistics and Second Language Acquisition by Vivian Cook

Linguistics and Second Language Acquisition by Vivian Cook

This book covers approaches to second language research that in some way conform to the agenda of linguistics. It presents the actual methodology and results of research rather than just the conclusions or interpretations. It covers the main current theories, research methods and techniques, and it considers the crucial problems involved in relating Second Language Acquisition to linguistics.

Vivian Cook is Professor in Applied Linguistics at the University of Newcastle, previously having taught in London and Essex. After writing EFL course-books, he concentrated on linguistics and language learning in books such as Chomsky's Universal Grammar and Second Language Learning and Language Teaching, and developed the concept of multi-competence through books such as Portraits of the L2 User. He was founding President of the European Second Language Association (EUROSLA) . He has been exploring the English writing system through articles and books such as The English Writing System and Accomodating Brocolli in the Cemetary. Benedetta Bassetti holds a PhD from the University of Essex, where she wrote her thesis on Chinese as a Second Language Writing System. She previously has studied oriental languages and applied linguistics in Rome and London. She has presented her research at various international conferences.
