Beskrivning

Based on classic and cutting-edge research, this textbook shows how grammatical phenomena can best be taught to second language and bilingual learners. Bringing together second language research, linguistics, pedagogical grammar, and language teaching, it demonstrates how linguistic theory and second language acquisition findings optimize classroom intervention research. The book assumes a generative approach but covers intervention studies from a variety of theoretical perspectives. Each chapter describes relevant linguistic structures, discusses core challenges, summarizes research findings, and concludes with classroom and lab-based intervention studies. The authors provide tools to help to design linguistically informed intervention studies, including discussion questions, application questions, case studies, and sample interventions. Online resources feature lecture slides and intervention materials, with data analysis exercises, ensuring the content is clear and ready to use. Requiring no more than a basic course in linguistics, the material serves advanced undergraduates and first-year graduate students studying applied linguistics, education, or language teaching.

Mer om författaren

Tania Ionin is Professor of Linguistics and Director of Graduate Studies in Linguistics at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign. Her research expertise is in second language acquisition of semantics, and in experimental semantics more generally. She has taught courses in second language acquisition, psycholinguistics, research design and methodology for linguists, and pedagogical English grammar, among other subjects. Silvina Montrul is Professor of Spanish and Linguistics at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, and directs the Second Language Acquisition and Bilingualism Lab. Her research focuses on linguistic and psycholinguistic approaches to second language acquisition and bilingualism – in particular, syntax, semantics, and morphology – and on language acquisition in heritage speakers. She regularly teaches courses in second language acquisition, bilingualism, and the structure of Spanish.

Recensioner i media

'This textbook will equip the next generation of researchers and practitioners for optimized intervention studies. Informed by the state of the art, it discusses which types of information can be useful to the language learner, identifies remaining gaps in evidence, and suggests promising techniques to investigate them. The extensive and clearly illustrated glossary of linguistic terms is a great pedagogical resource in itself.' Cecile De Cat, University of Leeds
