Dear Katia,

On page 12, 3rd paragraph, it is mentioned that "Contextualized and interactive uses of language can be acquired relatively quickly (two or three years)given the right type of language instruction and/or the right learning environment; however, mastering descontextualized and impersonal forms of language along with related literacy skills requires a much higher level of proficiency in the target language and normally takes at least five to seven years even under the best of conditions."

These pieces of information are a bit confusing for me. Could please you give me examples of both cases?

Best regards,

Simone Vitor
