Conclusion

Chapter 1 > > Conclusion

All in all, sensorimotor training though useful, is just but one method of acquiring a second language. More research ought to be done to determine if this is the best method, and how to use this method, but one should not neglect the potential usefulness of a more holistic approach in L2 teaching and learning in order to increase the likelihood of achieving native-like language acquisition even in adulthood. After all, research has indicated that adults do have the potential for implicit learning of languages, even performing better than children in understanding new language rules (de Lange, 2011). Sensorimotor training when applied well could possibly tap on this potential and allow for better and more efficient acquisition of a second language even when later on in life.
