Beschreibung:
Alene Moyer is Professor Emerita in the School of Languages, Literatures and Cultures at the University of Maryland. Her research examines long-term outcomes in second language acquisition. Her previous books include Foreign Accent: The Phenomenon of Non-native Speech (2013) and Age, Accent and Experience in Second Language Acquisition (2004).
Many marvel at those who seemingly acquire language(s) easily. Bringing to bear evidence from across related disciplines, and profiling a number of such individuals, this book takes a critical look at what 'giftedness' in language learning really means, and how we can better explore its many sources.
Introduction; 1. Giftedness, then and now; 2. The gifted language learner, 3. Personality dimensions in GLL; 4. Neurological and cognitive foundations of GLL; 5. Emotion, cognition and engagement in GLL; 6. Paths forward in theory and research.
