| Title | Book: Contemporary Approaches to Second Language Acquisition |
| Body | From http://benjamins.com/#catalog/books/aals.9/main Contemporary Approaches to Second Language Acquisition Edited by María del Pilar García Mayo, María Junkal Gutierrez Mangado and María Martínez Adrián Published by the John Benjamins Publishing Company Summary: Second language acquisition (SLA) is a field of inquiry that has increased in importance since the 1960s. Currently, researchers adopt multiple perspectives in the analysis of learner language, all of them providing different but complementary answers to the understanding of oral and written data produced by young and older learners in different settings. The main goal of this volume is to provide the reader with updated reviews of the major contemporary approaches to SLA, the research carried out within them and, wherever appropriate, the implications and/or applications for theory, research and pedagogy that might derive from the available empirical evidence. The book is intended for SLA researchers as well as for graduate (MA, Ph.D.) students in SLA research, applied linguistics and linguistics, as the different chapters will be a guide in their research within the approaches presented. The volume will also be of interest to professionals from other fields interested in the SLA process and the different explanations that have been put forward to account for it.
