Title: Book: Investigating Linguistic Knowledge of a Second Language
Body:
Investigating linguistic knowledge of a second language
By Runhan Zhang
Published by Peter Lang International Academic Publishers
This book investigates several important issues revolving around the psycholinguistic modelling of language proficiency in terms of L2 linguistic knowledge, which is a topic of considerable interest and importance in SLA theories and language testing practice. Four tests including the Elicited Imitation Test, Timed Grammaticality Judgment Test, Untimed Grammaticality Judgment Test and Metalinguistic Knowledge Test are employed to examine the extent to which they provide separate measures of Chinese third-year university students' L2 linguistic knowledge. The role of four psychological factors – language analytic ability, language learning motivation, language anxiety and learner beliefs – in learners' L2 linguistic knowledge is also explored.

Title: Book: Theorizing and Analyzing Agency in Second Language Learning

From http://www.multilingual-matters.com/display.asp?isb=9781783092888
Theorizing and Analyzing Agency in Second Language Learning: Interdisciplinary Approaches Edited by Ping Deters, Xuesong Gao, Elizabeth R. Miller, and Gergana Vitanova
Published by Multilingual Matters
This book showcases how language learner agency can be understood and researched from varying perspectives by providing, for the first time, a collection of diverse approaches in one volume. The volume is organized into three main sections: the first sections offers an introduction to varying theoretical approaches to agency; the second section presents analyses of agency in a variety of empirical studies; and the third section focuses on the pedagogical implications of data-based studies of agency. The volume includes the work of researchers working in languages including English (ESL and EFL), Greek, Spanish, Swedish, Italian, Hindi, Marathi, Gujarati and Truku (an indigenous language in Taiwan) and with both child and adult language learners. This collection will serve as a reference for researchers of language learning and teaching, sociolinguistics and language and identity.

Body:
From http://www.multilingual-matters.com/display.asp?isb=9781783092604
Pronunciation in EFL Instruction A Research-Based Approach
By Jolanta Szpyra-Koz?owska
Published by Multilingual Matters
In view of recent debates on the global spread of English and its international lingua franca role, what pronunciation models are appropriate for millions of EFL learners? Which aspects of English phonetics should be taught to foreign students and which can be neglected with little loss to successful communication? How can English pronunciation be taught in an interesting and effective way which is both learner- and teacher-friendly, in accordance with the latest scholarly and technological achievements? This research-based book addresses these and many other fundamental issues that are currently at the center of pronunciation teaching. It offers a wealth of new theoretical ideas and practical solutions to various phonodidactic problems that arise in EFL contexts, approaching pronunciation instruction from global and local perspectives and supporting its theoretical claims with extensive empirical evidence. It will be of interest to EFL teachers and teacher trainers, pronunciation specialists and students of applied linguistics.
