Publisher Synopsis
"Another tour de force by Rod Ellis and his colleague Natsuko Shintani. Understanding language pedagogy through the eyes of second language research is a novel twist on this complex relationship and one which the authors are well qualified to do. An important read for any future language teacher." - Susan Gass, Michigan State University, USA"This book will prove to be a valuable resource for anyone interested in second language acquisition but lacking experience in reading research articles. It distils complex and conflicting findings in a parsimonious and readable way and at the same time provides the reader with a rare and fascinating historical perspective." - Pauline Foster, St. Mary's University College, UK "The high level of clarity of this book is also striking, which is in a large part related to the authors' talent in categorizing complicated concepts. Bridging language pedagogy and SLA is a complex task, but the authors suggest that the task could be approached in two different ways: applying SLA to language pedagogy and exploring language pedagogy through SLA. Such a division not only helps the authors justify the approach adopted in this book, but also helps readers conceptualize the relationship between SLA and language pedagogy." - Dr. Han Luo, LINGUIST List "...this book brings a fresh perspective to the problem of incorporating theory into practice, and its approachable nature may help to bridge the chasm between SLA researchers and language teachers in a way that respects both sides for their knowledge and expertise." - Glenn M.
