Abstract:

Most human beings grow up speaking more than one language; a lot of us also
acquire an additional language or languages other than our mother tongue. This
Element in the Second Language Acquisition series investigates the human
capacity to learn additional languages later in life and introduces the
seminal processes involved in this acquisition. The authors discuss how to
analyze learner data and what the findings tell us about language learning;
critically assessing a leading theory of how adults learn a second language:
Generative SLA. This theory describes both universal innate knowledge and
individual experiences as crucial for language acquisition. This Element makes
the relevant connections between first and second language acquisition and
explores whether they are fundamentally similar processes. Slabakova et al.
provide fascinating pedagogical questions that encourage students and teachers
to reflect upon the experiences of second language learners.

1. What are the Key Concepts?; 2. What are the Main Branches of Research?; 3.
What are the Implications for SLA?; 4. What are the Implications for Pedagogy?
; 5. What are the New Avenues for Research?; 6. What are the Key Readings?
