Second Language Processing

<p> <em>Second Language Processing</em> examines the problems facing learners in the second language classroom from the theoretical perspectives of Processing Instruction (structured input) and Enhanced Input. These two theories are brought to bear on a variety of processing problems such as the difficulty of connecting second language grammatical forms encoding tense and mood as well as noun-adjective agreement with their meaning. Empirical studies examine a range of languages including Japanese Italian and Spanish through which the authors suggest practical solutions to these processing problems.</p> <br/> <br/> This monograph will be of interest to postgraduates and academics researching second language acquisition and applied linguistics.
