E-raamat: Fluency in L2 Learning and Use

This volumes strength rests in the coverage of multi-disciplinary perspectives that offer a comprehensive conceptualization of fluency. Based on reviews of theoretical frameworks and actual empirical findings, the discussion on fluency extends from SLA to areas, such as sign language and translation studies, where fluency research has been less prominent. It represents an invaluable source for students, teachers, and scholars who are interested in fluency as a multi-faceted phenomenon. * Slobodanka Dimova, University of Copenhagen, Denmark * This volume makes an extremely valuable contribution to fluency research. The chapters take refreshingly new perspectives on the topic and put forward innovative theoretical and methodological additions to the field. The volume is highly thought-provoking and extremely hard to put down. A must-read for every researcher interested in fluency. * Sandra Götz, University of Giessen, Germany * This book provides a comprehensive and thoughtful collection of texts on L2 fluency by offering fresh perspectives from various fields including SLA, English as a lingua franca, gestures, sign language, and translation. -- Jimin Kahng, University of Mississippi, USA * Journal of Second Language Pronunciation 7:1 * The editors achieve their goal of presenting a panorama of L2 fluency with state-of-the-art disciplinary theories and context-dependent cutting-edge methodologies through reviewing the literature mostly generated in the last 20 years [ ...] Moreover, the monograph is well written with clarity and lucidity, intelligible for readers from a range of backgrounds and interests. -- Weiwei Zhang and Lawrence Jun Zhang, University of Auckland, New Zealand * Frontiers in Psychology, April 2021 *
