/><b>Descripción</b><br /><p> This book explores the social
construction of age in the context of EFL in Mexico. It is the first
book to address the age factor in SLA from a social perspective. Based
on research carried out at a public university in Mexico, it
investigates how adults of different ages experience learning a new
language and how they enact their age identities as language learners.
By approaching the topic from a social constructionist perspective and
in light of recent work in sociolinguistics and cultural studies, it
broadens the current second language acquisition focus on age as a
fixed biological or chronological variable to encompass its social
dimensions. What emerges is a more complex and nuanced understanding
of age as it intersects with language learning in a way that links it
fundamentally to other social phenomena, such as gender, ethnicity and
social class.</p><br /><b>Temática:</b> Sociolingüística<br /><br
