Beskrivning
A classic introduction to second language acquisition and its application to language teaching, the sixth edition of Second Language Learning and Language Teaching has been extensively revised to reflect the evolving realities of multilingual classrooms and global communication. Drawing on the latest research, it offers clear explanations of key theoretical concepts alongside practical insights for language teaching.Written by leading expert Vivian Cook and sensitively updated by Dick Smakman, the book critically engages with native-speaker models, emphasising intelligibility, meaningful communication, and the diverse ways in which people learn additional languages. A brand-new chapter on the changing classroom explores current pedagogical challenges and emerging learner profiles, while updated content is organised thematically for greater clarity.Designed for readers with no prior background in second language research, this accessible and comprehensive text is ideal for students of applied linguistics, TESOL, and language education more broadly.Pedagogical features include focusing questions, an expanded glossary, and support materials for both students and instructors.

If ever there were a timely book, this is it. Today, with new technologies transforming the field, we teach and study languages amid deep uncertainty. Our only hope of keeping up is to continue questioning the very nature of multilingualism and the impact language learning has on culturally diverse individuals around the world.Kapitolina Fedorova, Full Professor of Russian Studies, University of Tallinn, EstoniaThe sixth edition of Second Language Learning and Language Teaching offers a comprehensive and accessible overview of key theories and practices in second language acquisition. Authored by renowned scholars Vivian Cook and Dick Smakman, the book bridges the gap between research and classroom application, making it an essential resource for language teachers and students alike. It includes up-to-date insights into contemporary issues in language learning. I plan to actively use this book in my own classes when engaging students in discussions about second language teaching. Its content aligns perfectly with my approach of combining theoretical foundations with the development of practical teaching skills in the field of second language education.Giuli Shabashvili, Associate Professor of Linguistics, Tbilisi State University, Georgia
