Mind and Context in Adult Second Language Acquisition
processing approaches to second language acquisition (SLA)
attempt to explain how nonnative languages are learned—usually by adults—
and how knowledge of such second languages is used. The perspective on language
acquisition presented in this volume is multifactorial and interactionist:
It takes into account external and internal variables and the multiple interactions
among them. This approach has attracted the attention not only of researchers
but also of practitioners, since the pedagogical implications of such a
perspective are readily seen. The last ten years have seen a surge in the number
of research articles and book chapters on the topic. A few volumes on specific
issues related to processing approaches have also appeared. However, an avid
reader or a course instructor would have to consult a variety of sources and attempt
to integrate all that information. This volume seeks to provide, in one
place, a coherent, well-structured picture of the latest research on processing
approaches to SLA.
