APRENDIZAJE DE SEGUNDAS LENGUAS: LINGÜÍSTICA APLICADA A LA ENSEÑANZA DE IDIOMAS [Second language learning: Applied linguistics to foreign language teaching]. Susana Pastor Cesteros. Alicante: Universidad de Alicante, 2004. Pp. 374. 22 € paper.

This volume sprang from the desire to “ofrecer los contenidos necesarios para la comprensión del proceso de adquisición de una lengua no nativa, tanto desde la perspectiva del docente como desde la del aprendiz” [“to offer the necessary contents to understand the process of the acquisition of a non-native language, from both the teacher and the learner's perspective”] (p. 14). In her work, Pastor attempts to make matters of learning and teaching accessible to university students and foreign language teachers interested in applied linguistics.
