PERHAPS A GIFT VOUCHER FOR MUM?: MOTHER'S DAY
Daniel R. Walter is Assistant Professor of German and Linguistics at Oxford College of Emory University, USA. His research interests include second language acquisition, German as a second language, morphology and syntax, second language pedagogy, and psycholinguistics.
A richly comprehensive and at the same time very practical introduction to two research strands that often remain disconnected. Walter links psycholinguistic approaches with instructed second language acquisition while focusing on pedagogical implications and student needs. An ideal book for language educators and researchers who value synthesis of theory and practice. * Angelika Kraemer, Cornell University, USA * Walter's book would be a great resource for a L2 pedagogy seminar. Major research insights, including from cognitive science, provide the foundation for accessible recommendations for curriculum and pedagogical planning. Best of all: the integration of K-12 perspectives and research showing the importance of multilingual cultures' insights into language learning. * Silja Weber, Tampere University, Finland * Walter does a lovely job of weaving together the two central traditions of psycholinguistics and pedagogy for understanding instructed second language learning. Based on a detailed survey of the most important research findings, Walter then shows how these findings can profitably illuminate classroom practice and the construction of pedagogical materials and methods. * Brian MacWhinney, Carnegie Mellon University, USA *
