Researching Second Language Acquisition in the Study Abroad Learning Environment: An Introduction for Student Researchers, Christina L. Isabelli-García, Casilde A. Isabelli. Palgrave Pivot, Cham (2020). XXII, 138pp., ISBN: 978-3-030-25159-8

Abstract

Second language acquisition (SLA) research in study abroad (SA) contexts dates back to the 1960s and has grown in prominence since Freed’s (1995) landmark work. Among the numerous titles on SA research, however, very few cater to inexperienced newcomers to the academic community. Against the backdrop, Researching Second Language Acquisition in the Study Abroad Learning Environment: An Introduction for Student Researchers, co-authored by Isabelli-García and Isabelli, serves as an invaluable resource tailor-made for novice researchers who wish to explore L2 development in SA experiences.
