This edited
collection explores the processes of second
language learning and teaching from a psycholinguistic perspective. Authored by leading experts in the field, the book includes studies focusing on theoretical,
empirical and practical aspects of second and foreign language education. Part
One offers contributions
devoted to a range of learner-related factors, dealing with affective and
cognitive variables, the process of reading and the acquisition of lexis. Part
Two brings together papers related to teacher awareness of second language instruction that focus on conversational styles, fostering intercultural
pragmatics, teacher job satisfaction, the development of instructional
materials and challenges of teacher training in different contexts. It is of interest to researchers as well as graduate and
postgraduate students seeking fresh inspirations for their own empirical
investigations of the ways in which second and foreign languages are taught and
learned.
