More than any other field in education, the social and cultural foundations of education reflect many of the conflicts, tensions, and forces in American society. This is hardly surprising, since the area focuses on issues such as race, gender, socioeconomic class, the impact of technology on learning, what it means to be educated, and the role of teaching and learning in a societal context.
This volume focuses on the acquisition of tense-aspect morphology in L1 Italian children learning L2 English and in L1 English children learning L2 Italian. This bidirectional design, where two languages represent both the source and the target, is geared towards showing the effects of language transfer in learners that, because of their age, have the potential of becoming native-speakers of the target language. What makes child SLA interesting is its having the characteristics of both L1 acquisition and adult L2 acquisition.
