Biography

Schumann, John H.; Crowell, Sheila E.; Jones, Nancy E.; Lee, Namhee; Schuchert, Sara Ann

"This is a very good attempt to link neurobiology to what is known from other less biologically oriented disciplines such as cognitive psychology and applied linguistics about second language acquisition. This is a good book for those who are interested in making the leap between typically disparate fields (neurobiology and applied linguistics) in their quest for knowledge and explanatory power in the field of second language learning."
—DOODY'S Notes

"This volume takes the difficult but important step of trying to relate current knowledge in the fields of neuroscience and SLA, and its authors should be commended for this. This volume represents an important step in that direction."
