Abstract:

It is a well-known fact that some adult second language learners learn more
rapidly and/or to a higher level of proficiency than others. Some of these
individual differences have been linked to differences in cognitive and
perceptual abilities under the umbrella term of 'language aptitude'. The
notion of language aptitude has undergone recent developments, one of which is
the proposal that language aptitude includes cognitive abilities that involve
implicit processes and that are advantageous in learning a language without
awareness. This Element defines implicit language aptitude, examines tasks
that can be used to measure implicit language aptitude, and provides an
overview of relevant research in this area.

1. What are the key concepts?; 2. What are the key readings?; 3. What are the
main branches of research?; 4. What are the implications for SLA and
pedagogy?; 5. What are the new avenues for research?; 6. Conclusion.
