Study Notes
Lifelong Language Learning
- Language acquisition is complex, influenced by contextual factors (e.g., learning environment, input quality, language prestige) and personal factors (e.g., intelligence, learning style, emotional connection to the language).

Cognitive Style and Learning Strategies

- Students with significant disabilities have unique needs and diagnoses.
- Disabilities can affect one or more fundamental language processing skills (speech, reading, writing).
- Disabilities can stem from lack of motivation or unfavourable environments.
