Exploring the Second Language Mental Lexicon
This volume does not offer a complex perspective of the L2 lexicon, but rather represents a sustained attempt to answer some very basic questions clustered around the relationship between the L2 mental lexicon and the L1 mental lexicon. It provides a review of L1 and L2 lexical research issues such as similarities and differences between the conditions of L1 and L2 acquisition, the respective roles of forming and meaning in L1 and L2 processing, and the degree of separation/integration between L1 and L2 lexical operations.
Motivation, Language Identity and the L2 Self
With contributions by leading European, North American and Asian scholars, this volume offers a comprehensive anthology of conceptual and empirical papers describing the latest developments in L2 motivation research that involves the reframing of motivation in the context of contemporary notions of self and identity.
Beneath the Peaks
Redmond and Jennifer McClain weren't sure how it had all come abouttheir involvement in helping solve crimes, that is. Redmond, a psychology professor at Ravenslake University in Pleasanton, Ohio, and Jennifer, an artist specializing in landscapes and portraiture, had plenty of safe and enjoyable interests and good friends. Yet, somehow they had come very close to being thrown to their deaths from the rim of the Grand Canyon in 2005,and had barely missed being fatally shot in their cozy college town in 2008all because they had found mysteries so seductive. Given their close encounters of the potentially deadliest kind they'd sworn off further interest in mysterious crimes. An now, here they are in beautiful Flagstaff, Arizona, on a a pleasant three-week August vacation, enjoying coffee at Barnes and Noble, and reading old newspaper accounts about an unsolved mystery in Flagstaff. Jennifer commented to her Redmond, "It's a really interesting case, Mac. Fortunately, there's no way for us to get involved with it." Which just goes to show that even the very bright Jennifer McClain could be wrong from time to time.
Language Acquisition
This book examines the evidence relative to the idea that there is an age factor in first and second language acquisition, evidence that has sources ranging from studies of feral children to evaluations of language programmes in primary schools. It goes on to explore the various explanations that have been advanced to account for such evidence. Finally, it looks at the educational ramifications of the age question, with particular regard to formal second language teaching in the early school years and in ‘third age’ contexts.

A Journey through the Content and Language Integrated Learning Landscape
Interest in Content and Language Integrated Learning (CLIL), in Europe and beyond, has increased exponentially since it first appeared on the scene in Europe in the early 1990s. CLIL has grown to become a much-discussed topic of language education today, with the number of publications pertaining to the field continuing to increase. Researchers, teachers, teacher trainers, course planners and others involved in CLIL are constantly searching for new studies to help them understand how CLIL is evolving and how best it can be implemented. As the concept is now informing the pedagogical principles of different educational realities, research and reflection are now required to further understand ...
The Neurolinguistic Approach (NLA) for Learning and Teaching Foreign Languages
Since its inception in Canada in 1998 as a method for teaching French as a second language in a school setting, the Neurolinguistic Approach to second-language acquisition (NLA) has expanded to several countries and is now also applied to teaching adults. Based on research in the neurosciences, psychology, and sociology, the NLA focuses on providing learners with the conditions necessary to acquire spontaneous communication skills in a classroom setting. By ensuring the independent development of effective communication and implicit competence in the second language, the NLA allows learners to genuinely express themselves in their new language. In this volume, co-developer of the approach Claude Germain outlines the history of the NLA’s development and provides insights into its principles, its teaching and acquisition strategies applied in the classroom, and the results it has achieved. This is an essential book for all second-language teachers, as well as researchers interested in the transmission of second languages.
