<br/><br/> "This edited collection of empirical studies examines the link between interaction and second language learning. The studies provide readers with insights into a wide variety of issues at the centre of current research into the relationship between conversational interaction and second language learning outcomes. The book examines the benefits of interactional feedback, discusses the source of the positive outcomes of recasts and negotiations, explores the relationship between learners' perceptions and learning, investigates individual differences such as working memory and gender, and considers both social and cognitive factors in interaction-driven development."
