Reviews

Thoroughly researched and elegantly written, this book offers a much-needed introduction to the role of cognates in SLA, a comprehensive and up-to-date synthesis of research on crosslinguistic similarities, and a richly-documented case study of cognate awareness used as a motivational strategy in a foreign language classroom. This text will be a valuable resource for scholars of multilingualism and for foreign language teachers looking for better ways to motivate their students and to make them more fluent and eloquent.
