Language and Linguistics

Fossilization in Adult Second Language Acquisition I have created this blog to generate a lively discussion of first and second language acquisition, especially adult second language acquisition. Language teachers, second language acquisition researchers, and applied linguists can use this place as a forum to discuss the importance of linking L2 acquisition theory to pedagogical practice,  and share intervention techniques that can potentially increase the chances for adult learners to acquire native-like proficiency in their target language, and offer guidance for language practitioners to incorporate such techniques into their own teaching.
