Features: The main body (overview section) of this book is divided into ten chapters. The first chapter begins with a clear definition of second language acquisition, proposes the main research objectives of the field, and elaborates on second language acquisition, teaching methods, and learners' language through case studies. Chapters 2 to 9 are the core content of the book, proposing and discussing the following key issues: the nature of learners' language, interlanguage (Interlanguage) and its sociological, discourse, psycholinguistic, and linguistic characteristics, individual differences of learners in the process of second language acquisition, the role of various classroom teaching methods on second language acquisition, and so on. Chapter 10 does not provide a comprehensive second language acquisition model from different perspectives, but emphasizes the multifaceted nature of second language acquisition research and explores the prospects of conducting multi-perspective research on second language acquisition.
