Book excerpt: Understanding how people learn and fail to learn second and foreign languages is increasingly recognised as a critical social and psycholinguistic issue.

This book provides a synthesis of empirical findings on second and foreign language learning by children and adults, emphasising the design and execution of appropriate research.
