Abstract

Research over more than forty years has shown consistently that earlier L2 starters do not in the long term maintain the linguistic advantage of an early start over older starters. What, then, in the light of the widespread setting aside of the evidence regarding the apparent uselessness of an early start, is one to advise in respect of early L2 instruction? In this paper we discuss four factors which emerge as perhaps having relevance in this regard: the role of (bi)literacy skills, the role of language learning motivation, the role of factors relating to the transition from primary to secondary school, and the role of intensity of L2 instruction. We suggest that there are a number of broader macro-institutional factors, such as the impact of classroom experiences, that may impede the goal sought by the offering of numerous years of continued FL instruction.
充分利用二语教学的早期开始
四十多年来的研究一直表明,从长远来看,早期的二语初学者并没有保持早期初学者相对于年长初学者的语言优势。那么,鉴于关于提前开始的明显无用性的证据被广泛搁置,关于提前二语教学有什么建议呢?在本文中,我们讨论了四个可能与此相关的因素:(双语)识字技能的作用、语言学习动机的作用、与从小学到中学的过渡有关的因素的作用以及二语教学强度的作用。我们认为,有许多更广泛的宏观制度因素,如课堂体验的影响,可能会阻碍提供多年持续的外语教学所寻求的目标。

期刊介绍: Accounts of Chemical Research presents short, concise and critical articles offering easy-to-read overviews of basic research and applications in all areas of chemistry and biochemistry. These short reviews focus on research from the author’s own laboratory and are designed to teach the reader about a research project. In addition, Accounts of Chemical Research publishes commentaries that give an informed opinion on a current research problem. Special Issues online are devoted to a single topic of unusual activity and significance. Accounts of Chemical Research replaces the traditional article abstract with an article "Conspectus." These entries synopsize the research affording the reader a closer look at the content and significance of an article. Through this provision of a more detailed description of the article contents, the Conspectus enhances the article's discoverability by search engines and the exposure for the research.
