Peter、Skehan著的《语言学习认知法》着重探讨认知心理学与第二语言学习研究的关系，介绍与语言习得有关的心理语言学和认知过程方面的知识，探讨语言习得的共性与学习者之间的个体差异，并将有关的理论应用于任务型语言教学和语言测试。
本书开拓了关于第二语言学习研究的视野。作者以新的视角――心理语言学和认知过程为着眼点，指明了解答第二语言教学中诸多问题的途径，而这些问题按传统的方法从语言学和社会语言学的角度来研究是无法解答的。近年来，人们已开始接受从认知过程的角度来进行第二语言学习的研究。这本专著的问世，将有助于加速这种研究的过程，使第二语言学习的研究走向深入。
《语言学习认知法》有助于我国从事外语教学和研究的人员、高校外语专业的学生及研究生了解国外关于第二语言教学的最新研究成果，推动我国外语教学研究的进展。
《语言学习认知法》由Peter、Skehan著。
A Cognitive Approach to Language Learning
This book has two major themes: firstly it discusses psycholinguistic and cognitive aspects of language learning and secondly it looks at the contrast between universalist accounts of language learning and accounts which focus on individual differences between learners.Interwoven throughout is a focus on practical applications of these themes in task-based learning and language testing.
The book aims to redress the balance of viewpoints in second language acquisition research and language teaching pedagogy which the author feels has leaned too far towards linguistics and sociolinguistics in recent years and has not until recently drawn effectively on contemporary cognitive psychology.
