| Abstract: |
Three new textbooks in second language acquisition (SLA) differ in their aims. Saville-Troike (2006) offers a concise introductory text with an interdisciplinary approach. De Bot, Lowie and Verspoor (2005) provide a more comprehensive and more advanced introductory text with excerpts from the scholarly literature. Sanz (2005) presents an edited volume representing research in various sub- fields within an information-processing approach to SLA. All three offer valuable material for instructors to draw on, and they complement one another in interesting ways. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
