| Abstract
|
This paper presents some of the most influential theories of second language acquisition. The first part of the paper outlines some general distinctions and categorizations
concerning the different theories as well as criteria for the evaluation of the various theories. A critical overview follows the description of each theory and its contribution to second
language acquisition research.
