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.
