A volume on second-language acquisition theory and pedagogy is, at the same time, a mark of progress and a bit of an anomaly. The progress is shown by the fact that the two disciplines have established themselves as areas of study not only distinct from each other, but also different from linguistic theory.

Biography

Fred R. Eckman, Jean Mileham, Rita Rutkowski Weber, Diane Highland, Peter W. Lee

"...this volume is worth reading. Insight into the debate surrounding some of Krashen's theories will certainly add perspective that is badly needed in the teaching profession. But most useful is the advice of those who, with one foot in the classroom, can keep researchers on task, and foster more genuine dialogue. Teachers cannot, and must not, turn their backs on this responsibility."

"This volume is well organized, with strong articles at the beginning of each section; I heartily recommend it....There are a number of excellent and applicable articles within that offer material and incentive for the building of a navigable bridge between L2 theory and practice."
—The Phonetician
