Authors

Abstract

The aim of this research is to discuss a possible correlation between students’ age and gender through the process of vocabulary acquisition in L2, according to the data collected from two groups of fresh students from a High School located in Curitiba, Paraná, Brazil. One of those groups went on a process of lexical implementation, while the other one was followed up as a control group to compare the data related to lexical learning among the individuals in each group, as well as establishing a comparison between groups. However, data signaled to the need of further studies, with a larger number of participants, on the impact of age and gender to L2 learning.
