About this book

Based on a state-of-the-art review of prior research in all related domains, this book makes precise predictions about the expected effects of specific type and token frequency distributions in input floods and tests these in the second language classroom context.

Karin Madlener, University of Basel, Switzerland.

Reviews

"[...] the study presented in the book makes an important contribution about the effect of different frequency conditions. [...] this volume will be of interest to researchers and PhD students working on input enhancement and will hopefully inspire several follow-up studies."
