Rich qualitative findings detail sociocultural barriers to and social and emotive factors that promote second language acquisition in older age. The book?s case study highlights diverse cognitive and social processes as elders establish a sense of self as learners and as part of a learning community, and a sense of place as newcomers navigating a challenging environment. And first-person comments from the group members deftly illustrate the intricacies of being an immigrant in a rapidly changing America as well as the myriad intersections of race/ethnicity, gender, culture, and country that shape immigrant life. Included in the coverage: Minority aging in an immigrant context. Late-life second language acquisition: cognitive and psycholinguistic changes, challenges, and opportunities. Building emotions for self-identity and learning. Practicing safe language socialization in private and public spaces. Language resocialization and gender allies. Aging, second language acquisition, and health. Aging in a Second Language gives clinical social workers, gerontologists, health and cross-cultural psychologists, sociologists, educators and other professionals deep insights into the lives of an emerging active elder population. It also pinpoints challenges and opportunities in research, literacy program design, pedagogy, clinical outreach, education policy, and service delivery to immigrant elders. . 410 0$aInternational Perspectives on Aging,$x2197-5841 ;$v17 606 $aSocial work 606 $aCross-cultural psychology 606 $aApplied linguistics 606 $aSocial groups 606 $aFamily 606 $aSocial Work$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/X21000 606 $aCross Cultural Psychology$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/Y20100 606 $aApplied Linguistics$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/N13000 606 $aSociology of Family, Youth and Aging$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/X22080 615 0$aSocial work. 615 0$aCross-cultural psychology. 615 0$aApplied linguistics. 615 0$aSocial groups. 615 0$aFamily. 615 14$aSocial Work. 615 24$aCross Cultural Psychology. 615 24$aApplied Linguistics. 615 24$aSociology of Family, Youth and Aging. 676 $a401.93 700 $aArxer$b Steven L$4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut$01058313 702 $aCiriza$b Maria del Puy$4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut 702 $aShappeck$b Marco$4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910252711703321 996 $aAging in a Second Language$92499206 997 $aUNINA
