Second language speech production: Investigating linguistic correlates of comprehensibility and accentedness for learners at different ability levels (2016, background): “However, what is important is to inform learners that linguistic nativelikeness is rarely attested in adult L2 learners (e.g., Abrahamsson, 2012) and that an exclusive focus on the segmental detail of speech (with a view of reducing accent) does not appear to be the most efficient choice if the…”
COMMUNICATIVE FOCUS ON FORM AND SECOND LANGUAGE SUPRASEGMENTAL LEARNING (2014, background): “Whereas post-pubertal L2 learners likely show tremendous resistance to learning new sounds due to the loss of neural plasticity in the brain (Abrahamsson, 2012) and the influence of L1 phonetic and phonological systems (Best & Tyler, 2007; Flege, 1995, 2003, 2007), the mechanism of instructed L2 spe”
Age Effects in Second Language Learning: Stepping Stones Toward Better Understanding (2013, background): “Immigrant children’s learning is slower than adults’ (Krashen, Long, & Scarcella, 1979), but they keep going until they have reached the level of a native speaker their age, while adults all show some form of arrested development (albeit at a very high level for some; cf.
