This unique account of English language acquisition by Latino
elders shines intimate light on the increasingly complex concerns
of aging immigrant minority populations. Rich qualitative findings
detail sociocultural barriers to and social and emotive factors
that promote second language acquisition in older age. The book's
case study highlights diverse cognitive and social processes as
elders establish a sense of self as learners and as part of a
learning community, and a sense of place as newcomers navigating a
challenging environment. And first-person comments from the group
members deftly illustrate the intricacies of being an immigrant in
a rapidly changing America as well as the myriad intersections of
race/ethnicity, gender, culture, and country that shape immigrant
life. Included in the coverage: Minority aging in an immigrant
context. Late-life second language acquisition: cognitive and
psycholinguistic changes, challenges, and opportunities. Building
emotions for self-identity and learning. Practicing safe language
socialization in private and public spaces. Language
resocialization and gender allies. Aging, second language
acquisition, and health. Aging in a Second Language gives clinical
social workers, gerontologists, health and cross-cultural
psychologists, sociologists, educators and other professionals deep
insights into the lives of an emerging active elder population. It
also pinpoints challenges and opportunities in research, literacy
program design, pedagogy, clinical outreach, education policy, and
service delivery to immigrant elders.
