Gass and Jacquelyn hILIikl R \ It( 111.( 1111 Schachter `,« um) .11):.H.).' Second language acquisition is one of the fastest growing disciplines within linguistics, yet few works have explored in depth how a second language is acquired and what the second language learner must do mentally to achieve proficiency in another language. The essays in this book, written by some of the most respected scholars in the field of linguistics, provide an incisive analysis of these questions. For greater accessi4ty the chapters are arranged topically from those covering the broad area of theories of acquisition to those focusing specifically on syntax, semantics, pragmatics, lexicon, and phonologyin another language. Learning Strategies in Second Language Acquisition J. Michael O'Malley and Anna Uhl Chamot Can learning strategies help students learn a second language?How can teachers assist students to become effective and independent learners? In this book, O'Malley and Chamot review the literature onlearning strategies, describe and classify learning strategies in second language learningand discuss why learning is affected in a positive manner when such strategies are used.The authors go on to present instructional models for learning-strategytraining, which teachers can apply to their own classes. The material is based on currentresearch in second language acquisition and cognitive theory. 'There is no doubt in my mind that this book makes an importantcontribution, both as a source of research hypotheses and as aguide for pedagogy.
