It explores factors such as pragmatics, para-linguistic signals, gesture, semiotics, multi-modality, embodied language, and brain activity in L2 communication and connects research-based theories to real-life experiences in the classroom. It is suitable for students, trainee teachers, researchers, and practitioners in Applied Linguistics or TESOL courses. \u003c\/blockquote\u003e\u003cp\u003e                                                            \u003cstrong\u003eFormat\u003c\/strong\u003e: Paperback \/ softback\u003cbr\u003e                              \u003cstrong\u003eLength\u003c\/strong\u003e: 420 pages\u003cbr\u003e                              \u003cstrong\u003ePublication date\u003c\/strong\u003e: 20 May 2021\u003cbr\u003e                              \u003cstrong\u003ePublisher\u003c\/strong\u003e: Cambridge University Press\u003cbr\u003e                          \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis groundbreaking new textbook serves as an invaluable introduction to the major theories of second language acquisition and offers a practical framework for their implementation in language learning courses. It comprehensively explains and evaluates these theories, while also emphasizing recent research that has significantly enriched our understanding of effective strategies for promoting communicative competence in an L2 context. The book then proposes practical applications in language planning, curriculum development, pedagogy, materials development, teacher development, and assessment, establishing a strong connection between theory and practice. Unlike many SLA textbooks that narrowly focus on language acquisition, this book delves into the roles of various factors such as pragmatics, para-linguistic signals, gesture, semiotics, multi-modality, embodied language, and brain activity in L2 communication.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eSLA Applied seamlessly integrates research-based theories with the authors' and students' real-life experiences in the classroom, fostering reflection and creativity through the inclusion of Reader's Tasks in each chapter. This engaging and relevant text is an essential resource for students enrolled in Applied Linguistics or TESOL courses, trainee teachers, researchers, and practitioners alike. By providing a comprehensive and practical approach to SLA, this textbook equips readers with the knowledge and skills necessary to excel in their academic and professional endeavors.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e                            \u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 724g                            \u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDimension\u003c\/strong\u003e: 170 x 244 x 25 (mm)                            \u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eISBN-13\u003c\/strong\u003e: 9781108458535                                                      \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"BrianTomlinson,HitomiMasuhara","offers":[{"title":"Paperback \/ softback","offer_id":44094898372858,"sku":"9781108458535","price":30.46,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0522\/4297\/2845\/products\/f4917244c5010edefdd6da40c18c7ebc.jpg?v=1632539333","url":"https:\/\/shulphink.com\/products\/sla-applied-connecting-theory-and-practice","provider":"Shulph Ink","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
