THE place to start!

I first read this book in 1992, as a college text. At the time it was all theory; however, after teaching second languages for seven years, I can now HIGHLY recommend this as a fabulous place to begin an understanding of second language acquisition, and the research thereof. The book is clearly written and understandable, even for individuals who are unfamiliar with SLA lingo. If you are just beginning to teach second languages, you will find many an explanation and resolution for problems and questions encountered in the classroom.
