This book presents key findings of Second Language Acquisition (SLA)
research, along with reflection tasks and lesson activities, aiming to bridge
the gap between SLA theories and practical applications in the language
classroom. Although many textbooks excel in describing theories and
research studies concerning SLA, often teachers and students have to
undertake the difficult burden of applying such methodological principles
in their own pedagogical and learning practices. With the objective of
facilitating the use of SLA theories, the authors identified essential principles
that teachers might find problematic and unpacked them through
three main stages: reflection, conceptualisation, and reconstruction and
planning.
