Abstract:
As an important sub-discipline of Applied Linguistics, Second Language Acquisition focuses on the process and results of people learning a second language, and its purpose is to provide objective descriptions and scientific explanations of language learners’ linguistic and communicative abilities. In recent years, with the continuous expansion and depth of research, the domestic academic community has a new demand for research materials, such as “task-based pedagogy”, “English as an international lingua franca”, “interdisciplinary research on second language acquisition” and so on, which has gradually become a hot topic. This book can reflect the frontiers of research in important areas of international applied linguistics, and make a new contribution to the comprehensive and in-depth promotion of foreign language teaching and research.
