In the exploration of the linguistic life circle, it is apparent that it is much more difficult to learn a second language in adulthood than a first language in childhood Most adults never completely master a foreign language, especially in phonology - hence the foreign accent Their development often 'fossilizes' into permanent error patterns that no teaching or correction can undo Of course there are great individual differences, which depend on effort, attitudes, amount of exposure, quality of teaching, and plain talent, but there seems to be a cap for the best adults in the best circumstances
Many explanations have been advanced for children's superiority: they exploit the simplified, repetitive conversation between parents and children, make errors unselfconsciously, are more motivated to communicate, like to conform, are not set in their ways, and have no first language to, interfere But some of these accounts are unlikely, based on what is known about how language acquisition works Recent evidence is calling these social and motivation explanations into doubt Holding every other factor constant, a key factor stands out] sheer age Systematic evidence comes from
the psychologist Elissa Newport and her colleagues They tested Korean and Chinese-born students at
the University of Illinois who had spent at least ten years in the U.S The immigrants were given a list of
276 simple English sentences, half of them containing some grammatical error The immigrants who came to the U.S between the ages of three and seven performed identically to American-born students Those who arrived between the ages of 8 and 15 did worse the later they arrived, and those who arrived between 17 and 39 did the worst of all, and showed huge variability unrelated their age of arrival

North Americans are familiar with the many "person on the street” interviews on local television news shows While such interviews can be highly entertaining, they are not necessarily an accurate
indication of public opinion First, they reflect the opinions of only those people who appear at a certain
location Thus, such samples can be biased in favor of commuters, middle-class shoppers, or factory workers, depending on which area the newspeople select Second, television interviews tend to attract outgoing people who are willing to appear on the air, while they frighten away others who may feel
intimidated by a camera A survey must be based on a precise, representative sampling if it is to
genuinely reflect a broad range of the population
In preparing to conduct a survey, sociologists must exercise great care in the wording of questions
An effective survey question must be simple and clear enough for people to understand it It must also
be specific enough so that there are no problems in interpreting the results Even questions that are less
structured must be carefully phrased in order to elicit the type of information desired Surveys can be
indispensable sources of information, but only if the sampling is done properly and the questions are worded accurately
There are two main forms of surveys: the interview and the questionnaire Each of these forms of survey research has its advantages An interviewer can obtain a high response rate because people find it more difficult to turn down a personal request for an interview than to throw away a written questionnaire In addition, an interviewer can go beyond written questions and probe for a subject's underlying feelings and reasons However, questionnaires have the advantage of being cheaper and more consistent
