for describing these MYTHS about language learning:

• CHILDREN LEARN SECOND LANGUAGES QUICKLY AND EASILY, FASTER THAN ADULTS
• THE MORE TIME STUDENTS SPEND IN A SECOND LANGUAGE CONTEXT, THE MORE QUICKLY THEY LEARN THE LANGUAGE
• CHILDREN HAVE ACQUIRED A SECOND LANGUAGE ONCE THEY CAN SPEAK IT
• ALL CHILDREN LEARN A SECOND LANGUAGE IN THE SAME WAY
• PRESCHOOL IN ENGLISH GIVES ENGLISH LEARNERS A HEAD START FOR SUCCESS IN SCHOOL.
• PRACTICING ENGLISH AT HOME WILL SPEED UP AN ENGLISH LEARNER'S COGNITIVE DEVELOPMENT.
