314 Seiten, Taschenbuch

Kurzbeschreibung des Verlags

Offers a comprehensive and accessible introduction to and exploration of the role of context in the acquisition of a variety of L2 competencies. This book makes a seminal contribution to understanding the role of context in different kinds of acquisition, taking forward current debates on inter- and transdisciplinarity in second language acquisition (SLA). It aims to both highlight and foster connections between different aspects of SLA, arguing for a more inclusive approach to research by reaching beyond prestige norms and making multilingualism and multicompetence a core principle of contemporary SLA research and practice. The accessible state-of-the art chapters highlight the crucial role played by context of acquisition and use in practice, as well as discussing the role of context in the acquisition of a wide range of second language competencies. The book brings together world-renowned experts and emerging scholars in the field who offer fresh transdisciplinary perspectives on SLA, embedding research questions within real-world contexts to make the field more inclusive and practically relevant.
