Description

Language plays a fundamental role in shaping our identities as individuals and members of society. As we navigate life's journey, our relationship with language and learning evolves, yet its significance remains constant. This book provides an up-to-date resource for researchers and graduate students interested in the complex dynamics of second language acquisition across the lifespan. The authors explore the intricate relationships between language, cognition, and affect that occur during L2 learning, from infancy to old age. They examine how personalized, technology-enhanced communicative environments impact L2 acquisition and analyze the effects of various factors such as gender, socio-economic background, and bilingualism on the learning process. By considering these phenomena scientifically and methodologically, this book offers a comprehensive understanding of the complex interplay between social distinctions, psychological factors, and individual differences that influence an individual's relative status and opportunities in L2 learning.
