| Abstract
|
:
|
"This book explores second language learning through a study of seven adult learners enrolled in a year-long program of Japanese language instruction. The research, grounded in a learner-centered sociocognitive framework, examines interactions between learners, their peers, and teachers, as well as the private speech of individual learners." "This is the first study to examine the private speech of adult learners as they participate in their foreign language classes, careful transcription of data reveals how learners work with new language in private speech, rehearsing for later use in social interaction. By using private speech and social interactive data, the book provides a learner-centered perspective on corrective feedback, showing how learners respond to the contrasting utterances of teachers and peers. Finally, this study is the first to examine how interactional style develops within the walls of a foreign language classroom in the first year of language study. Results show learners to be highly sensitive to pragmatic information, and that learners can move toward an appropriate interactional style through classroom interactive experience."--Jacket
