DESCRIPTION:[b]Teresa Cadierno\, Professor of Second Language Acquisition 
 at SDU and DIAS Chair of Humanities [/b] [nl] [nl] \n\n[b] Is the younger
 \, the better? On the role of starting age and other factors in the acqui
 sition of English by Danish primary school children [/b] [nl] [nl] \n\nIn
  this talk\, I will present a research project that was funded by DFF in 
 which we investigated the role of starting age of learning\, i.e.\, the s
 o-called age factor\, and a range of other (child-specific and contextual
 ) factors in the development of L2 English by Danish primary school child
 ren. \n[nl] [nl]\nThe project was motivated by an educational law in Denm
 ark which stipulated that as of August 2014 English as a foreign language
  should be introduced in 1st grade instead of 3rd grade\, which had been 
 the norm since 2002. \n[nl] [nl]\nIn the project\, we followed the develo
 pment of L2 English in terms of learning rate and short-term proficiency 
 by two groups of children who started learning English in schools in the 
 same year (2014): an early starter group who began in the first grade (7-
 8 years old) and a late starter group who began in the third grade (9-10 
 years old). \n[nl] [nl]\nIn the lecture\, I will present the design of th
 e study\, the factors that were examined and some of the project’s main f
 indings. \n[nl] [nl]\n\nRead more about Teresa Cadierno [url=https://port

 ody is welcome and no registration is needed. \n\n[nl][nl]
