OUP webinar team says, “Age is often considered the critical variable in determining the success of L2 learning. In this presentation I will argue that while age is an important variable it is not the only, nor the most important variable. Age interacts with many factors that influence L2 learning in classroom-based contexts. These other factors need to be considered within the young learner context”.
