- 1691: Factors Of Second Language
- ... to many researchers, the idea of muscle plasticity is a more plausible explanation for accent than that of lateralization. The second factor related to age is the learner s cognitive ability.

This has been attributed the level of cognitive development of learner. Jean Piaget refers to the stage ... people often do this when talking to someone who is trying to communicate in a second language (and seems to be doing so with some difficulty).

- 1696: English Only
- ... With the debate over English Only laws, a topic of bilingual education arose. Many people who support official English oppose bilingual education. They feel that bilingual education programs rely on the unproven theory that a child must spend years becoming literate in his native language before he or she can properly learn a second language. Under their own theory, bilingual educators should not have placed an English-speaking child in a Cantonese-speaking class (USE). Wasted funds have gone into the support of bilingual education with the schools being inefficient at teaching English.
