Abstract

Age is one of factors which influence foreign language learning. However, social-psychology, as one of age-related factors, is the key to the different level between children and adults. In a review of Krashen’s research, this paper mainly analyses age differences from sociolinguistics perspective. At the same time, this paper also proposes its weakness and explains age difference further with pragmatics and Vygotsky’s theory of the zone of proximal development and implications for teaching second language.
