| Good morning, Dr. Harley. Thank you very much for coming on our radio talk. We know that you are an applied linguist specializing in second language acquisition. Right. So, today, urmm… we'll look at this issue. Now, first, Dr. Harley. Could you please tell us what is second language acquisition? Well, second language acquisition is "happens when a child or adult has already become competent at a language. And then, urmm… they attempt to learn another." OK, most people think, including me, it is difficult to learn another language. What are the reasons? Why is it so? Well, there are a number of reasons for this. Urmm… first, there have been research studies. They have shown that some aspects of language learning, especially syntax, are more difficult beyond a certain age, say after around 12 years of age. |
