Early language acquisition: cracking the speech code
TL;DR: New data show that infants use computational strategies to detect the statistical and prosodic patterns in language input, and that this leads to the discovery of phonemes and words.
Journal ArticleDOI
Age Constraints on Second-Language Acquisition
James Emil Flege,James Emil Flege,Grace H. Yeni-Komshian,Grace H. Yeni-Komshian,Serena Liu,Serena Liu +5 more
TL;DR: The authors evaluated the critical period hypothesis for second language (L2) acquisition and found that the observed decrease in morphosyntax scores was not the result of passing a maturationally defined critical period.
Journal ArticleDOI
How the Timing and Quality of Early Experiences Influence the Development of Brain Architecture
TL;DR: The study begins with a description of the genetic framework that lays the foundation for brain development, and then proceeds to the ways experience interacts with and modifies the structures and functions of the developing brain.
Journal ArticleDOI
Second language acquisition.
TL;DR: The review details the theoretical stance of the two different approaches to the nature of language: generative linguistics and general cognitive approaches and some results of key acquisition studies from the two theoretical frameworks are discussed.
Journal ArticleDOI
On the evidence for maturational constraints in second-language acquisition
David Birdsong,Michelle R. Molis +1 more
TL;DR: This paper showed that L2 attainment negatively correlates with age of learning even if learning commences after the presumed end of the critical period, and that the outcome of L2 acquisition may depend on L1-L2 pairings and L2 use.

Content and Language Integrated Learning
Do Coyle,Philip Hood,David Marsh +2 more
TL;DR: Content and language integrated learning (CLIL) is a dual-focused educational approach in which an additional language is used for the learning and teaching of both content and language.
