Description
Language Acquisition: The Age Factor by David Michael Singleton and Lisa Ryan explores the evidence surrounding an age factor in first and second language acquisition. Studies of feral children to evaluations of language programmes in primary schools provide insights into this topic. The authors examine various explanations for the observed age-related differences, considering both theoretical frameworks and empirical research findings. This analysis sheds light on the educational implications of the age question, particularly in formal second language teaching in early school years and 'third age' contexts. By investigating the relationship between age and language acquisition, this book offers a nuanced understanding of the complex factors influencing language learning outcomes.
