Ellen Bialystok and Kenji Hakuta view second-language acquisition
as one way of coming to grips with the fundamental nature of
language, mind, and brain. Although they have conducted some of the
key research in the area of second-language acquisition, they also
work more broadly in the fields of cognitive and language
development as well as in education policy, and thus they are
ideally suited to address this issue. Using an array of vivid
illustrations, lively anecdotes, and fascinating research examples,
they show how five elements - brain, language, mind, self, and
culture - make up the complex ecology of language learning. The
book considers vital questions: Is the brain "hard-wired" for
language learning? Why are the mental operations that allow us to
learn language different from those we use to solve math problems
or play a musical instrument? How do differences between languages
affect language learning? What are various cultures doing to
encourage bilingualism?
