How Second Languages are Learned: An Introduction provides a comprehensive introduction to the processes and challenges involved in second language (L2) learning. The book examines five central problems faced by L2 learners: understanding the sound system, associating forms with meanings, learning sentence structure, acquiring phrasal and sentential meaning, and using language appropriately in context. These issues are explored through the acquisition of lexis, morphology, syntax, semantics, phonetics and phonology, with reference to key research in second language acquisition. The book also considers the roles of Universal Grammar, innate linguistic knowledge, language input, and the age at which learning begins. Each chapter includes concise summaries and activities that encourage learners to analyse data, evaluate research findings, and reflect on theoretical issues. The book is an accessible resource for students studying second language acquisition, applied linguistics, and language teaching.
