Explorations in Language Acquisition and Use

Since the 1970's, Stephen Krashen's widely-known theory of second-language acquisition has had a huge impact on all areas of second -language research and teaching.  An invaluable resource on the results of Krashen's many years of research and application, this book covers a wide range of topics, from the role of the input/comprehension hypothesis, the still-very-good idea of free voluntary reading, and current issues and contoversies about teaching grammar, to considerations of how it is we grow intellectually, or how me get "smart".
