Abstract:

This book is a systematic attempt to address the issue of
fossilization in relation to a fundamental question in second language
acquisition research, which is: why are learners, adults in
particular, unable to develop the level of competence they have
aspired to in spite of continuous and sustained exposure to the target
language, adequate motivation to learn, and sufficient opportunity to
practice?
