Migrant and third-age language learners telling stories

Abstract

This article focuses on two very different categories of learners of other languages - migrant learners and third-age learners. It shows that, in both these cases, recounting the experience of language learning seems to yield benefits for the process, and the fact of this same outcome for two such different groups would appear to imply that, whatever the category of learners such benefits accrue.
