Produktbeschreibung

Looking at second-language learners of a range of languages, this collection of original studies examines the phenomena of 'intake' versus 'input' in second language learning. It explores the cognitive process involved, and the fundamental mechanisms underlying adult second language acquisition, which is of central importance to theoreticians and teachers alike.
