Abstract:

This work critically addresses the age debate in second language
acquisition studies, presenting an in-depth study of factors that
predict foreign accent. 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.
