Summary

Is a state-of-the-art collection of classic papers for language teachers and applied linguists. Clearly presents and summarizes issues in applied linguistics and explores their practical implications, connecting theory, and practice in language teaching. Draws from recent research on second language acquisition to analyze the nature of language learning from the learner's perspective. Perceives undue emphasis on language teaching in the finished product, rather than on the process by which people use language and acquire language proficiency.
