Learning Language: First Language, Bilingual and Second Language Acquisition
Autor Rebecca Adams, Paul Warren, Lyn Wrighten Limba Engleză Paperback – 10 iul 2026
Rich in pedagogy, this innovative book adopts a distinct interdisciplinary approach to coherently explain how languages are learned. Organised around the linguistic targets of acquisition (sounds, words, structures, communication), the book offers a clear and deep understanding of the commonalities and divergence among these three research traditions. In this volume, Adams, Warren and Wright survey both the core theory principles and research practices in each area. They support students, researchers, and instructors by providing clear explanations, clear examples, and a wide range of instructional materials: from an overview of key research methods and guiding theories to definitions of key terms, reflection questions to spark discussion, and class exercises. Downloadable material is also available, including practical exercises, additional readings, and suggested research topics. Instructors and readers can choose to follow the book structure or to use the three main sections independently, focusing on each type of language acquisition in turn.
This unique book provides an ideal basis for introductory courses in Language Acquisition, ESOL, Applied Linguistics for Language Teaching, Child Language Development, and Speech Pathology programs. It also serves as a flexible and accessible resource for anyone interested in applied linguistics and language acquisition.

Recenzii
"This book provides a comprehensive description of the many facets of First Language, Bilingual, and Second Language Acquisition. Adams, Warren and Wright bring together a thoughtful and rigorous exploration of these three types of acquisitions and examine their similarities and differences. They draw on different theoretical positions and a large body of research literature which includes in depth descriptions of the various data collections that have been used. This is a book that will be extremely useful for those wishing to extend their understanding of how languages are acquired in different contexts."
Rhonda Oliver, Curtin University, Australia
"An engaging, research-forward introduction to language learning across contexts! Adams, Warren and Wright offer a research-based understanding of distinct but related types of language acquisition (first, bilingual and second). Readers gain insight into the overlaps and contrasts across these processes as well how this knowledge base draws from varied theoretical frameworks and fields."
Kendall King, Professor of Multilingual Education, C&I, University of Minnesota, USA
"This readable, informative and balanced introduction to first, second and bi-/multi-lingual language learning reflects the realities of the modern world, where acquiring only a single language is becoming vanishingly rare. As such it provides a solid foundation both for more advanced study and for application to modern teaching and therapy."
