This book presents Second Language Acquisition (SLA) Research as a source of specifications for teachers to explore in their own classrooms. In this context, the author sees the four main roles of SLA researchers as:
Developing relevant theories; Conducting their own classroom research; Making research accessible to teachers; and Faciliting action research.
Each chapter addresses a major issue in the field of SLA and language teaching, for example the teaching of grammar, syllabus design, task evaluation, consciousness-raising, and pragmatic competence.
