Foreign Language Acquisition in Adults in Native and Non-Native Linguistic Environments--an Experiment With English-Speaking American Students Studying French at the University of Illinois and in Paris
Abstract
dc:descriptionIt is generally hypothesized that learning a foreign language is more effective in the native linguistic environment than in the non-native one, but not much empirical research has been conducted to support the hypothesis. The present study has investigated the role of the linguistic environment in adult foreign language acquisition by studying two groups of English speaking American students, one learning French at the University of Illinois and their counterpart in a Study Abroad Program in Paris.
