N2  - "This book has two major themes: firstly, it discusses psycholinguistic and cognitive aspects of language learning, and secondly, it looks at the contrast between universalist accounts of language learning and accounts which focus on individual differences between learners. Interwoven throughout is a focus on practical applications of these themes in task-based learning and language testing. The book aims to redress the balance of viewpoints in second language acquisition research and language teaching pedagogy, which the author feels has leaned too far towards linguistics and sociolinguistics in recent years and has not, until recently, drawn effectively on contemporary cognitive psychology."
