Contents
In this course, we examine the outcome of second language acquisition in various areas (phonology, lexis, grammar) and some of the reasons for individual differences in the outcomes. We also critically evaluate the wide-spread belief that children are better language learners than adults. As you will see, this is not always the case. In instructional settings, older learners learn more efficiently than children; and even in immersion settings, adults do very well in some areas. On the other hand, it is true that late L2 learners typically do not acquire native-like levels of proficiency, and we examine various explanations for this (critical period for language learning, first language interference, quantity and quality of input, motivation).
