N2  - "Terence Odlin reconsiders a question that many language teachers and educational researchers have addressed: how much influence can a learner's native language have in making the acquisition of a new language easy or difficult? Transfer has long been a controversial issue, but many recent studies support the view that cross-linguistic influences can have an important impact on second language acquisition. Odlin analyzes and interprets research showing many ways in which similarities and differences between languages can influence the acquisition of grammar, vocabulary, and pronunciation. In addition he provides a detailed look at work on other areas important for the study of transfer including discourse, individual variation, and sociolinguistic factors. Language teachers, applied linguists, and educational researchers will find this volume highly accessible and extremely valuable to their work.; ; ; RECORD: .b11261596; URL: http://www.loc.gov/catdir/description/mh022/96053163.html; HTML TOC:; ; ; ; Publisher description for Library of Congress control number 96053163; ; ; ; ; ; Publisher description for Beyond methods : components of second language teacher education / edited by Kathleen Bardovi-Harlig, Beverly Hartford.; ; ; Bibliographic record and links to related information available from the Library of Congress catalog; Information from electronic data provided by the publisher.
