Introduction
Outline
Information-processing theory
Second-language acquisition
theory provides a very clear
explanation as to why immersion
works. According to current theory,
we acquire language in only one
way: when we understand
messages in that language, when we
receive comprehensible input.

Conclusion
FUTURE DIRECTIONS
Of considerable sociocultural
interest are other broader
questions about verbalizing/
languaging. For example, if
verbalizing/ languaging is such an
important cognitive tool, can its
use help prevent memory loss?
