Perhaps you are interested in taking your language instruction to the next level. Perhaps you are interested in what Second Language Acquisition (SLA) has to say about the way people learn languages. This accessible and practical handbook is the place to start. It introduces twelve important principles drawn from the field of SLA research and practice. These twelve principles include topics such as types of language knowledge, types of language instruction, input, output, language skills, and the role of the learner. Each chapter addresses a different SLA principle and presents some implications for instruction, including how the principle relates to biblical and ancient language learning. Each chapter also includes specific examples for how to integrate the SLA principle into biblical and ancient language classrooms, focusing on Hebrew, Greek, and Latin.
