Routledge Handbook of Second Language Acquisition and Sociolinguistics

<p>This state-of-the-art volume offers a comprehensive, accessible, and uniquely interdisciplinary examination of social factors’ role in second language acquisition (SLA) through different theoretical paradigms, methodological traditions, populations, contexts, and language groups. Top scholars from around the world synthesize current and past work, contextualize the central issues, and set the future research agenda on second language variation, including languages studied or taught less commonly. This will be an indispensable resource to scholars and advanced students of SLA, applied linguistics, education, and other fields interested in the social aspects of language learning in research practice and instruction.</p> <p>Introduction<em>Kimberly Geeslin</em></p><p>Part I:<em> </em>Theoretical and Conceptual Foundations in the Study of Second Language Acquisition and Sociolinguistics</p><ol> <p> </p> <li>Variationist Approaches to Second Language Acquisition</li> <p><i>Robert Bayley and Chelsea Escalante</i></p> <p> </p> <li>A Sociocultural Theory Perspective on Sociolinguistic and Pragmatic Variation in L2 Development</li> <p><i>Rémi A. van Compernolle</i> </p> <p> </p> <li>Sociolinguistic Competence: What We Know So Far and Where We’re Heading</li> <p><i>Matthew Kanwit</i> </p> <p> </p> <li>Usage-based SLA: From Corpora to Social Interaction</li> <p><i>Søren Wind Eskildsen</i></p> <p> </p> <li>Pedagogical Norms and Standards</li> <p><i>Andrea Ender</i></p> <p> </p> <li>Teaching Variable Structures</li> <p><em>Stephanie M.
