Abstract:

People are increasingly reaching the so-called third age, a period when
seniors search for a renewed purpose to life and spend time undertaking
activities that they consider motivating, such as the learning of a foreign
language. The study of language learning among aging populations has become a
fast-growing area of research and this book is one of the first attempts to
bring together what we know about this age group and their profiles as foreign
language learners. Contributors to the volume discuss the issue from various
psychological, neurological and pedagogical perspectives. Each of the chapters
provides an updated theoretical background and offers some initial conclusions
on the basis of original empirical studies carried out. Chapters challenge
certain familiar preconceptions and assumptions about senior learners, offer
the reader ideas for future research in this under-studied area and provide
some practical advice for applying the proposals and solutions offered in real
foreign language third-age classrooms.
