Description
Working Memory and Second Language Learning: Towards an Integrated Approach explores how working memory components and functions impact second language learning, processing, and development. This comprehensive book reviews relevant literatures from cognitive sciences and applied linguistics, offering a conceptual framework for integrating working memory theories with second language acquisition theories.
A theoretical model is presented, highlighting the distinctive roles of phonological and executive working memory in specific L2 learning domains, skills, and processes. The book also discusses the theoretical and methodological implications of this integrative perspective, particularly in relation to L2 task-based performance and language aptitude research.
