Outline of Final Research Achievements |
The present study investigated neural mechanisms of acquiring second language (L2) from communicative social contexts, comparing with first-language (L1) translation-based learning. The following three major findings emerged. First, behaviorally, learning from social contexts showed better performance than L1 translation-based learning. Second, learning from social contexts recruited more brain areas associated with language communication. Third, higher proficiency learners recruited the motor, social cognition and memory-related areas including hippocampus during the initial stage of learning from social contexts. These findings suggest an importance of learning from social contexts in L2 acquisition.
