"Language teaching research and language pedagogy are complex and dynamic topics with a rich research tradition. Ellis succeeds in this volume in synthesizing a wide body of research ... providing valuable information about language teaching, learning, and research. Both language teachers and researchers can benefit from this informative volume ... The book has several strengths [offering] a holistic updated picture of diverse topics in the field ... Insights and suggestions are provided throughout to make research findings into practical technical knowledge for language teachers." Linguist List (29th October, 2013) "This book provides a comprehensive, state-of-the-art review of L2 classroom research covering a wide range of issues in SLA and language education. There are a number of useful tables and figures that present concise syntheses of complex issues. Although the volume addresses little about the development of specific language skills, it should be an essential read for teachers and researchers who wish to browse the major findings of empirical studies that inform language classroom practice." ( Studies in Second Language Acquisition , 1 August 2013) "The discussion of each study is critical but fair, and in explaining the methodological limitations of each study, Ellis provides readers with numerous ideas for how they could contribute to language teaching research in the future." ( The Modern Language Journal , 22 August 2013), "The explanatory power, breadth, and sheer inventiveness of Ralph Wedgewood's work places him in a category of his own...its richness and the surprising coherence of the interconnected views that it advocates demand serious attentions."--Mark Schroeder,Notre Dame Philosophical Reviews "Wide-ranging, systematic, and provocative."--Chris Alen Sula,Ethical Theory and Moral Practice, an ambitious and sophisticated exploration ... a dense and richly argumentative book informed by a deep knowledge and understanding of the state of play in the areas addressed., "The explanatory power, breadth, and sheer inventiveness of Ralph Wedgewood's work places him in a category of his own...its richness and the surprising coherence of the interconnected views that it advocates demand serious attentions."--Mark Schroeder, Notre Dame Philosophical Reviews"Wide-ranging, systematic, and provocative."--Chris Alen Sula, Ethical Theory and Moral Practice, This is a big-picture book, written with a breadth of focus which I find admirable... To help guide us through such a broad landscape, the book needed to be well signposted and clearly written, and it is... when the big picture in question is as interesting as Wedgwood's, the game is worth the candle., Review from previous edition: "The explanatory power, breadth, and sheer inventiveness of Ralph Wedgwood's work places him in a category of his own...its richness and the surprising coherence of the interconnected views that it advocates demand serious attention." --Mark Schroeder, Notre Dame Philosophical Reviews, "The explanatory power, breadth, and sheer inventiveness of Ralph Wedgewood's work places him in a category of his own...its richness and the surprising coherence of the interconnected views that it advocates demand serious attentions."--Mark Schroeder, Notre Dame Philosophical Reviews "Wide-ranging, systematic, and provocative."--Chris Alen Sula, Ethical Theory and Moral Practice

Synopsis
The Nature of Normativity presents a complete theory about the nature of normative thought--that is, the sort of thought that is concerned with what ought to be the case, or what we ought to do or think. Ralph Wedgwood defends a kind of realism about the normative, according to which normative truths or facts are genuinely part of reality. Anti-realists often complain that realism gives rise to demands for explanation that it cannot adequately meet. What is the nature of these normative facts? How we could ever know them or even refer to them in language or thought? Wedgwood accepts that any adequate version of realism must answer these explanatory demands. However, he seeks to show that these demands can be met--in large part by relying on a version of the idea, which has been much discussed in recent work in the philosophy of mind, that the intentional is normative--that is, that there is no way of explaining the nature of the various sorts of mental states that have intentional or representational content (such as beliefs, judgments, desires, decisions, and so on), without stating normative facts. On the basis of this idea, Wedgwood provides a detailed systematic theory that deals with the following three areas: the meaning of statements about what ought to be; the nature of the facts stated by these statements; and what justifies us in holding beliefs about what ought to be., The Nature of Normativity presents a complete theory about the nature of normative thought--that is, the sort of thought that is concerned with what ought to be the case, or what we ought to do or think.
