| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
This research project aimed to build a foundation for cognitive neuroscience studies on early English learning. While establishing a research team and resserch methods, we have collected a large amount of linguistic and cognitive neuroscience data from children (Japanese elementary school students) and adults (Japanese university students). We obtained valuable data on how the age of learners influences English acquisition by native Japanese speakers, not only in terms of English proficiency but also in academic Japanese ability and brain function. In particular, the effects of learner age are suggested to be more complex than is generally believed. Based on the research foundation we have established, further development of the research is expected.
