Negative correlation between AoA and language performance. Strong correlation ≤ 16 years. No correlation ≥ 16 years 1 of 24 What participants did J&N use? 46 participants with L1 as Chinese or Korean. Min 5 years exposure to language & min 3 years residency in US 2 of 24 What did DeKayser (2000) find? AoA not related to L2 performance for late arrivals 3 of 24 What did DeKayser (2000) find? examples where adults can achieve native-like competence but only if have good verbal skills 4 of 24 What participants did DeKayser (2000) use? L1/L2 pairing = Hungarian/English. 15 AoA ≤ 16 years. 42 AoA ≥ 16 years 5 of 24 What did Birdsong & Molis (2001) find? non-significant correlation of GJT and AoA ≤ 16 years. Significant correlation of GJT and AoA ≥ 16 years 6 of 24 Who found a ceiling performance effect? Birdsong & Malis (2001) 7 of 24 What participants did Birdsong & Malis (2001) use? L1/L2 pairing = Spanish/English. 29 early arrivals. 32 late arrivals 8 of 24 Who found evidence of native-like performance in participants 16 and over? Birdsong & Malis (2001) 9 of 24 What did Hakuta et al (2003) find? L2 acquisition not dependent on age. L2 learning did decline with age 10 of 24 What participants did Hakuta et al (2003) use? 2 million + from 1990 census data. L1 = Spanish or Chinese 11 of 24 What did Abrahamson (2012) study find? Strong negative correlation with morphosyntactic & phonetic test performance and AoA 12 of 24 What did Abrahamson (2012) study find? only early learners of L2 (1-6yrs) showed signs of developing morph-syntactic & phonetic aspects simultaneously 13 of 24 How did Abrahamson (2012) measure phonetics? categorical perception of voice onset time (VOT) 14 of 24 What participants did Abrahamson (2012) use? L1/L2 pairing = Spanish/Swedish. 200 L1 Spanish of L2 Swedish. AoA ≤ 16 years = 101 15 of 24 What did a number of studies find? individuals over 15 failed to attain native-like competence in L2 16 of 24 What did a number of studies suggest? for evidence against a critical period in L2, a native-like speaker in all languages needs to be found 17 of 24 What did White & Genessee (1996) study find? near-native and native equal on speed and accuracy 18 of 24 What did White & Genessee (1996) study find? no evidence for maturational decline 19 of 24 What age effects did White & Genessee (1996) study find? early learners (≤ 7) = 75% achieved near-native performance. 1/3 adults reached near-native performance 20 of 24 What 3 groups did White & Genessee (1996) use? near-native English speakers, non-native, native control 21 of 24 Which studies replicate Johnson & Newport (1989) study? DeKayser (2000), Birdsong & Malis (2001) 22 of 24 Which studies are against the critical period? Birdsong & Malis (2001), Hakuta et al (2003), White & Genessee (1996) 23 of 24 What is near-native? L2 in conversation identical to native speakers but can show in detailed analysis 24 of 24
