Age, Accent and Experience in Second Language Acquisition: An Integrated Approach to Critical Period Inquiry: Second Language Acquisitions, cartea 07

Quantitative and qualitative analyses confirm that cognitive, social, and psychological factors contribute to attainment, and that biological influences must therefore be considered alongside these essential aspects of learner experience.
