Overview

This two-volume collection brings together papers first presented at the AILA Congress in 1987. In volume one, the over-all focus is on the individual language learner and how that individual develops a command of a language (first or second) in home and classroom settings. Papers were selected that would provide a sense of present achievement and future directions in applied linguistics and will be of interest to all those who wish to discover more about this area.
