Beskrivning
This work critically addresses the age debate in second language acquisition studies, presenting an in-depth study of factors that predict foreign accent. Quantitative and qualitative analyses confirm that cognitive, social, and psychological factors contribute to attainment, and that biological influences must therefore be considered alongside these essential aspects of learner experience.

Recensioner i media

This book is a must for students and researchers of age effects, especially for those interested in phonology, but it will also be of interest to researchers working on SLA and individual differences such as motivation, attitudes and identity issues.
