Pienemann, Manfred
Applied Linguistics, v10 n1 p52-79 Mar 1989
Argues that the teachability of language is constrained by what the learner is ready to acquire. The Teachability Hypothesis, based on this constraint, uses a speech processing approach to explain second language acquisition and contains important psycholinguistic information on which second language teaching methods could be based.
