Most human beings grow up speaking more than one language; a lot of
us also acquire an additional language or languages other than our
mother tongue. This Element in the Second Language Acquisition
series investigates the human capacity to learn additional
languages later in life and introduces the seminal processes
involved in this acquisition. The authors discuss how to analyze
learner data and what the findings tell us about language learning;
critically assessing a leading theory of how adults learn a second
language: Generative SLA. This theory describes both universal
innate knowledge and individual experiences as crucial for language
acquisition. This Element makes the relevant connections between
first and second language acquisition and explores whether they are
fundamentally similar processes. Slabakova et al. provide
fascinating pedagogical questions that encourage students and
teachers to reflect upon the experiences of second language
learners.
