Second language acquisition has grown rapidly as a field over the past few decades, seeking to contribute not only to our understanding of how non-native languages are learned and may be better taught, but also to the modeling of human language and cognition. Drawing on research from applied linguistics, linguistics, psychology and the speech sciences, this textbook focuses particularly on second language speech – how individuals perceive and produce the sounds of their second language. Following an in-depth overview of the major research themes, theories, and experimental methodologies, the book provides extensive discussion of the acquisition of vowels, consonants, and prosody. Each chapter includes illustrative case studies, review questions, and a tutorial section with practical exercises using English and Romance language data from the University of Toronto Romance Phonetics Database. The book also has a companion website, which contains further resources including scripts for conducting research with the Praat software.
