Language learning as situated, usage-based, and socioculturally contextualized
The importance of emotional engagement, intercultural sensitivity, and self-efficacy in language learning
Transdisciplinary and ecological approaches as keys to language teaching in the 21st century
The seventh edition also retains useful historical information and foundational cornerstones of SLA that teachers have found beneficial in their instruction. Key principles continue to be presented and explained with direct application to classroom language education and real-life contexts. Features such as “Points to Ponder” (questions for readers’ personal reflection), classroom connections and “Tips for Teaching,” suggested readings, and a glossary of terminology are updated in this edition. With its reader-friendly style, practical pedagogical tools, and comprehensive coverage of state-of-the-art research findings, this edition serves as an essential resource for language teacher education programs worldwide, catering to the needs of both novice and experienced language teachers.
