Review
"Libraries that own the first edition of this volume will want to replace it with this updated version, which provides a detailed, comprehensive overview for those beginning to study second-language acquisition. Recommended."--Choice
Review for a previous edition: "SLA theories are presented by Mitchell and Myles in a clear and engaging style. ... A great advantage of this text over others is that it reviews both connectionism and sociocultural theory, two newcomers in the field of SLA which are no doubt bound to figure very prominently in the future."--Second Language Research
