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.
