Description
This workbook provides students with hands-on experience in analyzing second language data. By working through examples of interlanguages created by learners, students gain a clearer understanding of the principles underlying these phenomena and the universal principles of language learning.
The goal is to present data in a way that leads students to discover theoretical and methodological issues, while also acquiring the ability to interpret data and draw conclusions. Students are encouraged to consider the limitations of their findings and how they could be tested through empirical research.
Two accompanying audiocassettes provide language samples for use in exercises, and a teacher's manual is available free of charge with adoption of the workbook for classroom use. A three-part set including the workbook, manual, and tapes is also available.
