Abstract:
This book constitutes a holistic study of how and why late starters surpass
early starters in comparable instructional settings. Combining advanced
quantitative methods with individual-level qualitative data, it examines the
role of age of onset in the context of the Swiss multilingual educational
system and focuses on performance at the beginning and end of secondary
school, thereby offering a long-term view of the teenage experience of foreign
language learning. The study scrutinised factors that seem to prevent young
starters from profiting from their extended learning period and investigated
the mechanisms that enable late beginners to catch up with early beginners
relatively quickly. Taking account of contextual factors, individual
socio-affective factors and instructional factors within a single longitudinal
study, the book makes a convincing case that age of onset is not only of
minimal relevance for many aspects of instructed language acquisition, but
that in this context, for a number of reasons, a later onset can be
beneficial.
