Learning Spanish as an Older Adult.

Schulz, Renate; Elliot, Phillip

Hispania, v83 n1 p107-119 Mar 2000

Examines the extent to which a highly motivated older adult can acquire a new language by focusing on a case study of a 57-year-old woman's endeavor to learn Spanish in an immersion setting. The learner's experiences, as recorded in diary entries, are examined in relation to the literature on cognitive aging. (Author/VWL)
