This empirical study investigates the acquisition and development of nominal morphology in L1-English-speaking children acquiring German as a second language in an immersion school context. The focus is on accuracy development in the emerging German article system. Embracing theoretical and applied aspects of second language acquisition research, the study brings together educational, cognitive and psycholinguistic dimensions of second language learning and teaching. Results have implications for curriculum design and quality development in language immersion and content and language integrated learning.

This empirical study investigates accuracy development of the emerging article system in German as a second language, focusing on child second language acquisition in an immersion context. The investigation combines applied, educational and psycholinguistic perspectives and bears implications for quality development in L2 learning and teaching.
