✦ Synopsis

Through a selected integration of papers from the 1987 SLA-FLL Conference at the University of Illinois, this book explores the contexts, processes, and products that comprise the disciplines known as second language acquisition and foreign language learning. The aims of the collection are to offer various perspectives on how SLA and FLL come together as fields of inquiry and to suggest how FL teaching benefits from research in language learning. The book should be a valuable resource for researchers, teachers, and teachers in training.
