Overview

This book deals with the relationship between L2 theory and pedagogy. Grouped into five sections, the papers in this volume: consider questions about L2 theory and pedagogy at the macro-level, from the standpoint of the L2 setting; consider input in terms of factors which are internal to the learner; examine the question of external factors affecting the input, such as the issue of whether points of grammar can be explicitly taught; deal with questions of certain complex, linguistic behaviours and the various external and social variables that influence leaners; and discuss issues surrounding the teaching of pronunciation factors that affect a non-native accent.

"""...this volume is worth reading. Insight into the debate surrounding some of Krashen's theories will certainly add perspective that is badly needed in the teaching profession. But most useful is the advice of those who, with one foot in the classroom, can keep researchers on task, and foster more genuine dialogue. Teachers cannot, and must not, turn their backs on this responsibility."" —TESL-EJ ""This volume is well organized, with strong articles at the beginning of each section; I heartily recommend it....There are a number of excellent and applicable articles within that offer material and incentive for the building of a navigable bridge between L2 theory and practice."" —The Phonetician"
