本書涵蓋第二語言習(xí)得的重要概念、主要理論和研究方法,從語言學(xué)、社會因素和認知角度介紹該領(lǐng)域的主要研究發(fā)現(xiàn),力求厘清“來龍”(起源、經(jīng)典理論),呈現(xiàn)“去脈”(最新成果、發(fā)展趨勢);在介紹目前研究現(xiàn)狀的同時,不回避其中的“懸而未決”。本書將復(fù)雜動態(tài)理論在第二語言習(xí)得研究方面的應(yīng)用作為重點內(nèi)容,梳理了不同理論對第二語言發(fā)展的解釋。英語作為世界通用語給我國英語教學(xué)帶來的啟示也是本書的重要內(nèi)容。
本書可供高等院校外國語言文學(xué)方向的研究生、教師和其他第二語言習(xí)得研究者閱讀和參考。
