This book explores the social construction of age in the context of
EFL in Mexico. It is the first book to address the age factor in
SLA from a social perspective. Based on research carried out at a
public university in Mexico, it investigates how adults of
different ages experience learning a new language and how they
enact their age identities as language learners. By approaching the
topic from a social constructionist perspective and in light of
recent work in sociolinguistics and cultural studies, it broadens
the current second language acquisition focus on age as a fixed
biological or chronological variable to encompass its social
dimensions. What emerges is a more complex and nuanced
understanding of age as it intersects with language learning in a
way that links it fundamentally to other social phenomena, such as
gender, ethnicity and social class.
