ZhaoHong Han is Professor of Language and Education at Teachers College, Columbia University, New York. Rebekah Rast is Associate Professor of English and Linguistics in the Department of Comparative Literature and English at The American University of Paris, France.'This volume explores the core matter of all theories of language acquisition: the earliest stages of learning. It is crucial reading to all interested in the nature of L2 acquisition.' Marianne Gullberg, Lund University
'… the book is of central importance to theorists and teachers because of its overriding theme of the state of learner spontaneous input processing in foreign language learning, and the extent to which this processing leads to intake. It is also an essential resource for academics, researchers, pedagogues, and students of applied linguistics pursuing their academic research within SLA and L2 pedagogy. The wide range of issues the book covers may interest other researchers to pursue investigation by building on the results, or make some inferences about processing. It also provides practitioners with insights to manipulate intake through pedagogical interventions.' Abdu Alkadi, LINGUIST List
