Recenzje

'The volume approaches SLA [second language acquisition] from various perspectives; from theoretical and pedagogical approaches and methodological treatments to skills development, individual differences as well as context and environmental factors which affect and contribute to LL. Each chapter familiarises readers with the key concepts, offers literature overviews and relevant research findings and highlights topics for future research. In each case, implications for teaching are highlighted. The research studies referenced provide useful pedagogical insights and, consequently, links SLA to teaching. The volume is useful source of reference to second language researchers, educators and (postgraduate) students.' Alexandra Galani, LINGUIST List
