| adam_text | How Cognitive Science
Gan Help Adults
Learn a Foreign Language
Richard Roberts and Roger Kreuz
Adults who want to learn a foreign language are
oRen discouraged because they believe they cannot
acquire a language as easily as children. Once they
begin to learn a language, adults may be further
discouraged when tlxey find tlxe methods used to
teach children don t seem to work for them. What
is an adult language learner to do*? In tlx is book,
Riclxard Roberts and Roger Kreuz draw on insiglxts
from psychology and cognitive science to show tlxat
adults can master a foreign language if tlxey bring to
bear tbe skills and knowledge tbey bave boned over
a lifetime. Adults shouldn’t try to learn as children
do; tbey should learn like adults.
Roberts and Kreuz report evidence that adults
can learn new languages even more easily than
children. Children appear to have only two
advantages over adults in learning a language: they
acquire a native accent more easily, and they do not
suffer from self-defeating anxiety about learning
a language. Adults, on the other hand, have the
greater advantages—gained from experience—of an
understanding of their own mental processes and
knowing how to use language to do things. Adults
have an especially advantageous grasp of pragmatics,
the social use of language, and Roberts and Kreuz
show how to leverage this metalinguistic ability in
learning a new language.
Learning a language takes effort. Rut if adult
learners apply the tools acquired over a lifetime, it
can be enjoyable and rewarding.
