Understanding Second Language Learning Difficulties

Rating:
Summary: An excellent source about 'individual differences' in SLA
Review: I first came across this book when doing research for a paper. As a teacher-in-training, I found it to be quite readable. Ehrman summaries the high points of some of the most pervasive learner influences that can be invovled in Second Language Acquistion. She also provides several helpful charts at the back of the texts (such as a guide to her case studies). This book provides clear summaries of issues in 'individual differences' in SLA. I highly recommend it.
