Editorial Reviews
Review
Unparalleled in its class-skillfully planned, cleverly organized and exceptionally well written.
A comprehensive introductory textbook . . . This book deserves the special attention of anyone who is interested in adult SLA.
I learned a great deal as I read this volume, and I was also reminded of issues I had studied in the past but had not thought about for some time. Reading these chapters made me see several old issues in a new light, and they updated my awareness and understanding of some recent studies that I had not yet read. I found the authors’ rational arguments and thematic analyses convincing, and their syntheses of the complex body of SLA research on adult learners was truly impressive.
