22. The critical hypothesis
To Think About:
Is it better to learn a second language when
one is young or when one is older?

23. Critical Period Hypothesis
 The Critical Period Hypothesis states that
and individual must acquire a language by a
critical period or it will be difficult to
acquire a language. This is in terms of First
Language Acquisition.
 The main advantage to learning a language
when younger is that the individual is more
likely to acquire a native-like accent.
