Description

How Languages Are Learned (4th edition) offers a clear, accessible introduction to first and second language acquisition and bridges research with classroom practice. Widely used in teacher training and professional development, the book explains major theories alongside real classroom examples, case studies, and activities that illustrate how learners develop language skills. It assumes no prior knowledge of research methods and presents current findings in a readable style for both new and experienced language teachers. The revised edition includes updated research, questions for reflection, and online resources that deepen understanding of how languages are learned and how theory can inform effective teaching.
