Explorations in Language Acquisition and Use

Great book with valuable information.Nice and short summary of explorations, not necessarily expanding further but great info in a short concise book.Reason for 3 stars:I ordered and payed for a brand new book, this book came clearly used with page corners folded over and pencil underlining many pages (the pencil underline wouldn’t bother too much if it was neatly done, but many marks are through the entire word)I considered returning the book and getting an actual new one, but it said that I have to return the book to a ups store within 3 days. With my busy schedule that couldn’t be done and I’d honestly rather go through and erase all the pencil marks and ignore the leftover pencil cloud left behind.This isn’t a huge deal, appears all the pages are still there but very annoying.

This book is a great resource of the research on language acquisition. Whats the best way to learn a language? This book gives you the facts.

The views, hypotheses, and the evidence of the process of language acquisition.I'm using this book to exactly explore/research methodology in the field of language acquisition and teaching.

This is a good starting point.I bought it thinking it was a much more developed description of Krashen's theories, but it is just a quick summary for one to get an idea.I only gav it for stars because of that, I did not realise it was just a small introduction to the subject.But as I said, it is a good starting point; from this book one can further research on what one is interested.

An excellent resource for anyone interested in language acquisition, even for those who are not well acquainted with the topic; many technical concepts that would be difficult to grasp are explained in laymen's terms. Lots of interesting information. Concise, contains many references.

I needed this for a master’s level course. It is a quick read and the author makes some nice points.

Purchased book for a course taken, came as promised without any complaints! Thank you

This book may be small but it really packs a punch. The first chapter is a very good overview of the 5 points of language acquisition theory from Krashen. This Tapei lecture series is a great way to learn Krashen's groundbreaking hypotheses.

Short but with an extremely helpful summary of Krashen’s most important hypotheses. I found this much more clearly written and useful than most other books on SLA and Pedagogy.I would recommend Mehdi Latifi et al., Interview with Stephen Krashen, available online, to supplement this.

Very good book. Highly recommended.

Das Buch ist überladen mit Statistikzahlen und beschreibt Lehrmethoden, die bereits seit Jahren an den VHS angewendet werden. Es liefert keine Anleitung für Studierende, bessere Fortschritte zu machen.

Molto interessante, non è per lettura svago, veramente bello .visto nello youtuber stage kaufmann .ottimo

This is an amazing book and full of studies and references to studies. Just amazing and too bad it isn't a best seller. It is amazing.
