SCOBAs materialize L2 usage-based linguistic and cultural concepts to create tools that promote conceptual understanding and internalization. Three overview chapters lay out the book's sociocultural theoretic foundations, the role of mediation, usage-based linguistics, and the concept of subjective construal; internalization and its role in re-mediating the mind for L2 learning; and L2 pragmatics teaching and assessment. Subsequent chapters enact praxis via classroom research on C-BLI. Each study focuses on a difficult-to-acquire area of Japanese pragmatics and\/or grammar, incorporating SCOBAs that teach core concepts; instruction moves from SCOBA-mediated interactive lecture to internalization tasks involving languaging to language practice. Each chapter concludes with a section for critical reflection to inform future research and materials design.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWith its focus on research-teaching connections via praxis elucidating the power of linking concept-based language instruction with usage-based linguistics, this book will interest students and scholars of second language acquisition, language teaching and learning, applied linguistics, Japanese, and Asian languages.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eChapter 1 of this book is freely available as a downloadable Open Access PDF at http: \/\/www.taylorfrancis.com under a Creative Commons Attribution-Non Commercial-No Derivatives (CC-BY-NC-ND) 4.0 license.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Taylor \u0026 Francis","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":45243839217815,"sku":"9781032628608","price":12867.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9781032628608.webp?v=1769235902","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/concept-based-language-instruction-usage-based-linguistics-and-sociocultural-theory-in-teaching-japanese-9781032628608","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
