Muchas personas han oído hablar del evangelio de Jesucristo y han escuchado una versión predicada. Este libro comparte el evangelio según Jesús extraído de Jesús en la Biblia ya través de la inspiración personal. El evangelio es una experiencia transformadora, pero uno se pregunta por qué tiene tanto impacto en unos y en otros no cambia. Tal vez sea porque el evangelio no se está aplicando a cada persona de la misma manera. Necesitamos volver a la fuente del evangelio para entender el proceso y las instrucciones que hacen que funcione. La aplicación adecuada depende de seguir las instrucciones detalladas, independientemente de lo que intente hacer. El incumplimiento de una instrucción de acuerdo con los detalles puede descarrilar cualquier proyecto. En un asunto tan importante y consecuente, debemos asegurarnos de no haber descuidado ninguno de los detalles en nuestro viaje por el evangelio.

This book examines the evidence relative to the idea that there is an age factor in first and second language acquisition, evidence that has sources ranging from studies of feral children to evaluations of language programmes in primary schools. It goes on to explore the various explanations that have been advanced to account for such evidence. Finally, it looks at the educational ramifications of the age question, with particular regard to formal second language teaching in the early school years and in 'third age' contexts.

Combining advanced quantitative methods in classroom research with individual-level qualitative data, this study demonstrates that the capacity of late starters vastly surpasses popular expectations. It shows that age of onset is irrelevant for many aspects of language acquisition and that for a variety of reasons a later onset can be beneficial.

This textbook offers an introductory overview of eight hotly-debated topics in second language acquisition research. It offers a glimpse of how SLA researchers have tried to answer common questions about second language acquisition rather than being a comprehensive introduction to SLA research.
