Download Memory, Psychology and Second Language Learning Book in PDF, Epub and Kindle
This book explores the contributions that cognitive linguistics and psychology, including neuropsychology, have made to the understanding of the way that second languages are processed and learnt. It examines areas of phonology, word recognition and semantics, examining 'bottom-up' decoding processes as compared with 'top-down' processes as they affect memory. It also discusses second language learning from the acquisition/learning and nativist/connectionist perspectives. These ideas are then related to the methods that are used to teach second languages, primarily English, in formal classroom situations. This examination involves both 'mainstream' communicative approaches, and more traditional methods widely used to teach EFL throughout the world. The book is intended to act both as a textbook for students who are studying second language teaching and as an exploration of issues for the interested teacher who would like to further extend their understanding of the cognitive processes underlying their teaching.Mick Randall is currently Senior Lecturer in TESOL and Head of the Institute of Education at the British University in Dubai. He has taught courses in second language learning and teaching, applied linguistics and psychology in a number of different contexts. He has a special interest in the cognitive processing of language and in the psycholinguistics of word recognition, spelling and reading.

Memory: What Every Language Teacher Should KnowHow do we help students remember? If teachers understand how memory works, there is more chance of helping students do well through effective curriculum and lesson planning. This book is an introduction to memory written specifically with language teachers in mind. Taking evidence from the fields cognitive science and second language acquisition, the authors examine a range of important aspects of memory. These include working memory, phonological memory, long-term memory, cognitive load, implicit and explicit knowledge, prospective memory, metamemory, learning from mistakes, the emotional factors affecting retention and curriculum design with memory in mind. Full references, questions for reflection, and suggestions for further reading and viewing are provided at the end of each of the 16 chapters.The authors apply research evidence to the languages classroom, with suggestions for pedagogy and specific classroom activities.Previous books by the authors are The Language Teacher Toolkit (2016) and Breaking the Sound Barrier: Teaching Langugae Learners How to Listen (2019)

The aim of the book is to demonstrate that language is not a unique cognitive ability that requires specialized neuromechanisms. It seeks to cover areas that support aspects of learning language and speculates how language might be learned.

Download Working Memory and Second Language Learning Book in PDF, Epub and Kindle
This book introduces an approach to understanding and measuring working memory components and functions in second language learning, processing and development. It presents comprehensive, thorough and updated reviews of relevant literatures from cognitive sciences and applied linguistics. Drawing on multidisciplinary research, the book advocates a conceptual framework for integrating working memory theories with second language acquisition theories. An innovative theoretical model is also presented, which illuminates research studies investigating the distinctive roles of phonological and executive working memory as they relate to specific L2 learning domains, skills and processes. Theoretical and methodological implications of this integrative perspective are further elaborated and discussed within the specific realms of L2 task-based performance and language aptitude research.
