Chapters examine the claims and scope of each theory and how each views language, the learner, and the acquisition process, supplemented by summaries of key studies and data examples from a variety of languages. Chapters end with an evaluative summary of the theories discussed. Key features to this fifth edition include updated accounts of cognitive approaches to second language (L2) learning, the implications of advances in generative linguistics, and the \"social turn\" in L2 research; reworked chapters on functional, sociocultural, and sociolinguistic perspectives; an entirely new chapter on individual differences; and updated examples using recent studies.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eSecond Language Learning Theories\u003c\/i\u003e continues to be an essential resource for graduate students in second language acquisition.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eRosamond Mitchell\u003c\/b\u003e FAcSS is Emeritus Professor of Applied Linguistics at the University of Southampton, UK, and a past Chair of the British Association for Applied Linguistics.
