Abstract

The article in the journal "Applied Linguistics" discusses the experiences of exceptional language learners who have achieved nativelike proficiency in a second language. It explores the motivations, cognitive processes, and identities of these learners through narrative approaches, highlighting the importance of individual factors in language learning success. The research presented in the article offers valuable insights for researchers in second language acquisition, language teachers, and scholars interested in the psychology of language learning, emphasizing the need to move away from dichotomies and cognitive biases in understanding language learning processes.
