It is the first book to address the age factor in SLA from a social perspective. Based on research carried out at a public university in Mexico, it investigates how adults of different ages experience learning a new language and how they enact their age identities as language learners. By approaching the topic from a social constructionist perspective and in light of recent work in sociolinguistics and cultural studies, it broadens the current second language acquisition focus on age as a fixed biological or chronological variable to encompass its social dimensions. What emerges is a more complex and nuanced understanding of age as it intersects with language learning in a way that links it fundamentally to other social phenomena, such as gender, ethnicity and social class. 410 0$aSecond Language Acquisition 606 $aLanguage and culture 606 $aLanguage and languages -- Age differences 606 $aSecond language acquisition 606 $aSociolinguistics 606 $aSecond language acquisition$xAge differences 606 $aLanguage and languages 606 $aSociolinguistics 606 $aLanguage and culture 606 $aLanguages & Literatures$2HILCC 606 $aPhilology & Linguistics$2HILCC 610 $aEFL . 610 $aL2 learners. 610 $aSLA. 610 $aSecond Language Acquisition. 610 $aage and foreign language learning. 610 $aage and second language. 610 $aage factor. 610 $aimpact of age on language learning. 610 $aolder language learners. 615 4$aLanguage and culture. 615 4$aLanguage and languages -- Age differences. 615 4$aSecond language acquisition. 615 4$aSociolinguistics. 615 0$aSecond language acquisition$xAge differences 615 0$aLanguage and languages 615 0$aSociolinguistics 615 0$aLanguage and culture 615 7$aLanguages & Literatures 615 7$aPhilology & Linguistics 676 $a401/.93 700 $aAndrew$b Patricia, $4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut$01661131 801 0$bDE-B1597 801 1$bDE-B1597 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910826178803321 996 $aTheSocial Construction of Age$94016881 997 $aUNINA
