Table Of ContentTHE ROUTLEDGE HANDBOOK OF
SECOND LANGUAGE ACQUISITION
AND SPEAKING
This Handbook is a comprehensive volume outlining the foremost issues regarding research
and teaching of second language speaking, examining such diverse topics as cognitive
processing, articulation, knowledge of pragmatics, instruction in sub-components of
speaking (e.g., grammar, pronunciation, and vocabulary) and the attrition of the first
language. Outstanding academics have contributed chapters to provide an integrated and
inclusive perspective on oral language skills. Specialized contexts for speaking are also
explored (e.g., English as a Lingua Franca, workplace, and interpreting). The Routledge
Handbook of Second Language Acquisition and Speaking will be an indispensable resource for
students and scholars in applied linguistics, cognitive psychology, linguistics, and education.
