Description

Expand your understanding of linguistics with Alternative Approaches to Second Language Acquisition by Routledge. This volume explores six distinct perspectives that contrast with or complement the traditional cognitivism found in the field. By examining these diverse frameworks, readers gain a broader view of how language is learned and used in various contexts. Each of the six approaches is presented using a consistent set of six headings. This structure allows for direct comparison, making it easier to study the differences and similarities between the sociocultural, complexity theory, conversation-analytic, identity, language socialization, and sociocognitive methods. This book features contributions from leading experts in the field. You will find insights from James Lantolf on the sociocultural approach and Diane Larsen-Freeman on complexity theory. It is a valuable resource for students and researchers interested in the evolving landscape of language acquisition studies.
