Evidence-Based Second Language Pedagogy

<p><em>Evidence-Based Second Language Pedagogy</em> is a cutting-edge collection of empirical research conducted by top scholars focusing on instructed second language acquisition (ISLA) and offering a direct contribution to second language pedagogy by closing the gap between research and practice. Building on the conceptual state-of-the-art chapters in <i>The Routledge Handbook of Instructed Second Language Acquisition </i>(2017) studies in this volume are organized according to the key components of ISLA: types of instruction learning processes learning outcomes and learner and teacher psychology. The volume responds to pedagogical needs in different L2 teaching and learning settings by including a variety of theoretical frameworks (sociological psychological sociocultural and cognitive) methodologies (qualitative and quantitative) target languages (English Spanish and Mandarin) modes of instruction (face-to-face and computer-mediated) targets of instruction (speaking writing listening motivation and professional development) and instructional settings (second language foreign language and heritage language). A novel synthesis of research in the rapidly growing field of ISLA that also covers effective research-based teaching strategies <i>Evidence-Based Second Language Pedagogy</i> is the ideal resource for researchers practitioners and graduate students in SLA applied linguistics and TESOL. </p>
