Download Becoming Fluent: How Cognitive Science Can Help Adults Learn a Foreign Language AudioBook Free
Adults who wish to learn a foreign language tend to be discouraged because they believe that they cannot get a terms as easily as children. After they start to learn a terms, students may be further discouraged when they find the methods used to instruct children don't seem to benefit them. What is an adult terms learner to do? In Becoming Fluent, Richard Roberts and Roger Kreuz draw on insights from mindset and cognitive knowledge to show that parents can get better at a foreign language if they bring to carry the skills and knowledge they have got honed over an eternity. Adults shouldn't try to learn as children do, they should learn like parents. Roberts and Kreuz survey evidence that parents can learn new dialects even easier than children. Children may actually have only two advantages over parents in learning a terms: they get a native accent easier, plus they do not have problems with self-defeating stress about learning a terms. Men and women, on the other side, have the higher advantages - gained from experience - of a knowledge of their own mental processes and knowing how to use terms to do things. Men and women have an especially advantageous knowledge of pragmatics, the communal use of terms, and Roberts and Kreuz show how to leverage this metalinguistic potential in learning a new language. Learning a terms takes effort. But if adult learners apply the tools acquired over an eternity, it can be enjoyable and rewarding.
