原文:Age and amount of exposure to a foreign language during childhood

研究对象:350 healthy right-handed  Japanese primary-school children (159 boys)(6–9 years old in the first year), who had been exposed to English as an FL. They had lived in Japan since birth, had no known disorder  had not lived with a native English speaker, had been born to a native Japanese-speaking mother.

英语获得方式:Their exposure to English was through one or more of the following means: 
(1) school lessons (10–25 h per year at public schools 
                 and 450–600 h per year at one private school running an immersion program), 
(2) private lessons outside school, 
(3) home study, and 
(4) contact with English-speaking acquaintances outside home.

研究时长:3-year research period
评测:The test measures children’s comprehension of spoken English. 
During the test, the child listened to English sentences and probe questions, and chose an answer from multiple choices provided in the form of pictures in the test booklet. 

Discussion:
v1: AOFE (age of first exposure)
v2: HOE (hours of exposure)

1) We did not find advantages of early AOFE in children’s FL learning. Before HOE was controlled for, the data seemed to show that earlier AOFE led to higher English scores and larger N400 amplitudes. However, when HOE was controlled for in multiple regression analyses, this tendency disappeared.
......
These findings are inconsistent with the expectation that earlier AOFE leads to advantages in lexical learning and semantic processing in the auditory modality. There is behavioral evidence that phonological sensitivity declines as the child gets older (Tahta et al., 1981).

2) Longer HOE led to significantly higher English proficiency.
..., the N400 kept growing at least up to 2500 h

the finding that later AOFE led to higher FL proficiency and larger neural responses (with the effects of HOE statistically controlled) is suggestive. It draws our attention to the possibility that making exposure more frequent and denser without lowering AOFE may lead to better results for at least some aspects of FL learning, than lowering AOFE.

    Thanks for sharing.  Take my daughter pinky for example, she has been studying in an international school for half an year, she has been exposed to English at least 8 hours a day, I can see the significant improvement in her English and the significant decline in her Chinese. which is sad, when I tried to discuss a topic with her, she got input in English from school or reading English books, which made it easier for her if we talked about it in English.  her English accent is getting more and more native-like, what I can do is making sure she listens to Chinese audio books. I think Chinese poems are a good approach for her to learn writing.  but I haven't figured it out how to use it. what I feel strongly is,  It's possible for bilingual kids to reach a high level of proficiency in both languages, but it takes a concerted effort from their parents.

    这个问题也很困扰我们。曾经有一个过来人家长对我说,如果你的孩子同时学两种语言,那么你指望他两种语言的水平都要和只学其中一种语言的孩子的水平相当,那本身就是不现实的。这话当时让我觉得很受安慰,但是也隐隐有些不甘心。时间精力有限,怎么能够兼得熊掌与鱼,真是很难参透。。。
