Strategies in Learning and Using a Second Language

About The Book

<p>...this book is best characterised as Cohen's selected highlights of research on language learner strategies. Or to use Cohen's own words it is a salad-bowl (p. 2) with visible large chunks of vegetables. I would immediately add that it is not just any salad-bowl it is a bowl of salad with a unique Cohen flavour with precious ingredients rarely found elsewhere...this book does an excellent job in showcasing the best of what language learner strategies research has to offer today.</p> <p>- <strong>Peter Yongqi GU </strong>Senior Lecturer at the School of Linguistics & Applied Language Studies Victoria University of Wellington New Zealand</p> <p><i>Strategies in Learning and Using a Second Language </i>examines what it takes to achieve long-term success in languages beyond the first language. Distinguishing language learning from language-use strategies Andrew D. Cohen disentangles a morass of terminology to help the reader see what language strategies are and how they can enhance performance. Particular areas of research examined in the book include: </p> <p>- links between the use of task-specific strategies and language performance </p> <p>- how multilinguals verbalise their thoughts during language learning and use</p> <p>- strategies that learners use in test-taking contexts</p> <p>In this fully revised and substantially rewritten second edition every chapter has been reworked with material either updated or replaced. Entirely new material has also been developed based on examples of specific strategies supplied by actual learners mostly drawn from a website featuring these strategies in the learning of Spanish grammar.</p>
