Widdowson, Peter Skehan, Cummins, Rod Ellis, Lantolf, David Crystal, Candlin, Merrill Swain, Leo Van Lier, Jack Richards, Zoltan Dorneyi, Richard Schmidt, S. Larsen-Freeman, Kumaravadivelu, Chilukuri Bhubaneswar, Howard Gardener, McIntyre, S'fard, Douglas Brown, David Crystal etc. Attempts have been made to make the chapters precise and useful to meet the needs of teachers and students for basic references at tertiary level studies related to classroom teaching, note making and preparing for exams in SL/FL acquisition.
