Early theories in second language acquisition / Linguistic theory, universal grammar, and second language acquisition / One functional approach to second language acquisition : the concept-oriented approach / associative-cognitive CREED / Skill acquisition theory / Input processing in adult second language acquisition / Processability theory / Autonomous induction theory / Input, interaction, and output in second language acquisition / Sociocultural theory and second language learning / Second language learning explained? SLA across nine contemporary theories / Bill VanPatten, Jessica Williams -- Lydia White -- Kathleen Bardovi-Harlig -- Nick C. Ellis -- Robert DeKeyser -- Bill VanPatten -- Manfred Pienemann -- Susanne E. Carroll -- Susan M. Gass, Alison Mackey -- James P. Lantolf, Steven L. Thorne -- Lourdes Ortega. The
Theories in Second Language Acquisition surveys the major theoretical approaches currently used in second language acquisition (SLA) research, providing a systematic and coherent presentation in a single source. Each chapter follows a consistent chapter model constructed around the same set of questions, including "What is the Theory?" "What are the major constructs?" "What counts as evidence?" "What are the common misunderstandings about the theory?" The answers to these questions are written at a basic level by a leading expert in the respective theoretical model. As a result, the volume as a whole presents complex ideas in an accessible manner.
