Abstract:

Research on second language acquisition (SLA) has identified language aptitude
and age of onset (AO), i.e., the age at which learners are first meaningfully
exposed to the L2, as robust predictors of rate of classroom language learning
and level of ultimate L2 attainment in naturalistic settings, respectively. It
is not
surprising, therefore, that recent years have witnessed a surge of interest in
the
combination of age and aptitude as a powerful explanatory factor in SLA, and 
central to a viable SLA theory. The chapters in this volume provide new
studies
and reviews of research findings on age effects, bilingualism effects, 
maturational constraints and sensitive periods in SLA, the sub-components of 
language aptitude and the development of new aptitude measures, the influence
of AO and aptitude in combination on SLA, aptitude-treatment interactions, and
the implications of the research findings for language education policy and 
tailored language instruction.
