Description
Consciousness and Second Language Learning by John Truscott explores the relationship between consciousness and second language learning. This book provides an in-depth examination of theories of consciousness, its nature, and how it relates to cognitive processes such as perception and memory. Truscott presents the Modular Online Growth and Use of Language (MOGUL) framework, which offers a cognitively conceptualised understanding of consciousness in second language learning. The author then applies this framework to fundamental concerns of second language acquisition, examining how representations come to exist in the mind and what happens to them once established. By considering the cognitive context of consciousness, Truscott sheds light on the complex processes involved in second language learning, making this book a valuable resource for those interested in linguistics, psychology, and education.
