Consciousness, Rules, and Instructed Second Language Acquisition

Beschreibung

In this major experimental study Peter Robinson casts new light on issues of central concern to second language acquisition theory and pedagogy. His Fundamental Similarity Hypothesis relates such current issues in SLA theory as the nature of implicit-explicit learning, the role of 'noticing', and focus-on-form versus meaning-only-processing, to recent work in mainstream cognitive psychology, suggesting a reinterpretation of the familiar acquisition/learning distinction.

«By applying a research design from experimental psychology to natural language data, Robinson's important study sheds light on central theoretical issues concerning the implicit, explicit, incidental, and intentional learning of second and foreign languages. This book will be read with equal profit by those in applied linguistics and general learning theory.» (Professor Richard Schmidt, University of Hawaii at Manoa)
«This book brings together views from cognitive psychology and SLA theory on the implicit acquisition of grammar rules. The empirical part of this study is the first attempt, to my knowledge, to put claims from two prominent figures in these two disciplines (Reber and Krashen respectively) to the test in a single design.» (Professor Jan H. Hulstijn, Free University, Amsterdam)
