Abstract

This is an excellent and stimulating book, if like me you have been disturbed at how little material can be found relating the broader psychological processes of learning a second or foreign language to the field of psychology. Narrow cognitive or psycholinguistic treatments of the area are about all that is to be found, and even they are very few in number. (A very distant predecessor of this book would be Steven McDonough's no longer viable Psychology in foreign language teaching.)
