The Routledge Handbook of Second Language Acquisition and Individual Differences by Shaofeng Li,Phil Hiver,Mostafa Papi Pdf

The Routledge Handbook of Second Language Acquisition and Individual Differences provides a thorough, in-depth discussion of the theory, research, and pedagogy pertaining to the role individual difference (ID) factors play in second language acquisition (SLA). It goes beyond the traditional repertoire and includes 32 chapters covering a full spectrum of topics on learners’ cognitive, conative, affective, and demographic/sociocultural variation. The volume examines IDs from two perspectives: one is how each ID variable is associated with learning behaviors, processes, and outcomes; the other is how each domain of SLA, such as vocabulary or reading, is affected by clusters of ID variables. The volume also includes a section on the common methods used in ID research, including data elicitation instruments such as surveys, interviews, and psychometric testing, as well as methods of data analysis such as structural equation modeling. The book is a must-read for any second language researcher or applied linguist interested in investigating the effects of IDs on language learning, and for any educator interested in taking account of learners’ individual differences to maximize the effects of second language instruction.

The Routledge Handbook of Second Language Acquisition, Morphosyntax, and Semantics by Tania Ionin,Silvina Montrul,Roumyana Slabakova Pdf

This handbook provides innovative and comprehensive coverage of research on the second language acquisition (SLA) of morphosyntax, semantics, and the interface between the two. Organized by grammatical topic, the chapters are written by experts from formal and functional perspectives in the SLA of morphosyntax and semantics, providing in-depth yet accessible coverage of these areas. All chapters highlight the theoretical underpinnings of much work in SLA and their links to theoretical syntax and semantics; making comparisons to other populations, including child language acquirers, bilinguals, and heritage speakers (links to first language acquisition and bilingualism); dedicating a portion of each chapter to the research methods used to investigate the linguistic phenomenon in question (links to psycholinguistics and experimental linguistics); and, where relevant, including intervention studies on the phenomenon in question (links to applied linguistics). The volume will be indispensable to SLA researchers and students who work on any aspect of the SLA of morphosyntax or semantics. With its coverage of a variety of methodologies and comparisons to other populations (such as child language acquirers, early bilinguals, heritage speakers, and monolingual adults), the handbook is expected to also be of much interest to linguists who work in psycholinguistics, first language acquisition, and bilingualism.

The Routledge Handbook of Second Language Acquisition and Technology by Nicole Ziegler,Marta González-Lloret Pdf

"Technology-mediated language learning has matured over the past few decades, with various tools and contexts now widely used in language education for all ages and levels. Many of today's language learners have experienced technology as an ever-present feature both within and beyond the classroom, highlighting how the role of technology has expanded into many daily activities, and underscoring how research in Second Language Acquisition (SLA) can inform and support the use of established and emerging technologies. Given this continued and expanding interest in technology for SLA, as well as the heightened attention technology for language learning has received due to the recent COVID-19 global pandemic, this Handbook seeks to provide a complete and extensive survey of key topics and issues related to second, foreign, heritage, and other language (L2) learning, performance, and where relevant, teaching. Intended for a broad audience, including L2 researchers, teachers, and students, this handbook addresses not only the efficacy of technology-mediated L2 learning, but also how technology has enhanced our understanding of SLA. In addition, this Handbook explores how technology might provide researchers with methodological opportunities to more thoroughly examine processes and constructs of SLA than might be available using more traditional experimental approaches (for example, intelligent CALL and the use of 'big data'). With chapters from a diverse group of global experts, this volume discusses the impact of technology on L2 learning from a variety of perspectives and approaches, providing valuable information for research and practice and serving as a wide-ranging resource on how technology can support L2 learning and development"--

The Routledge Handbook of Second Language Acquisition and Input Processing by Wynne Wong,Joe Barcroft Pdf

This state-of-the-science handbook offers a comprehensive discussion of input processing in second language acquisition. The volume assesses past and current research on input processing and engages the reader in critical reflection about the current state of the field and what lies ahead for future research, theory-building, and implications for language instruction. The handbook considers multiple theoretical perspectives, pivotal research findings, issues in research methodology, and instructional implications that underscore the centrality of input processing in second language acquisition. Whereas to date most research in this area has focused on input processing as it relates to the acquisition of morphosyntax and lexis, the present volume also attends to more recent theoretical advances regarding other linguistic subsystems, such as phonology and pragmatics, as well as processing resource allocation during multilevel input processing. Thorough and forward-looking, this volume is an indispensable resource to scholars and advanced students of second language acquisition, bilingualism, applied linguistics, cognitive science, psychology, and education.
