Lingüística aplicada: Adquisición del español como segunda lengua

Appropriate for the undergraduate applied linguistics course and intended for future Spanish language teachers, Lingüística aplicada clarifies aspects of teaching Spanish and culture by addressing the areas of applied linguistics that are most important for future educators of Spanish. These include second language acquisition processes, a study of the language itself, the relationship between language and society/culture, and the use of technology and testing. The text can also be used to teach non-teaching candidates certain aspects of Spanish so that they can improve their linguistic capabilities, develop a greater awareness of the process of learning another language, and learn about the many facets of the Spanish language itself.
