The book "LanguAGEING: Learning Foreign Languages in Old Age" offers a comprehensive examination of foreign language learning in the post-employment phase of life. In light of demographic changes and the EU initiative for lifelong learning, author Alexandra Edlinger highlights the learning experiences of older individuals. The empirical study identifies various learning types and illustrates the connection between life, professional, and educational experiences as well as language learning activities. A central concern of the book is the promotion of self-directed learning and action in old age. It emphasizes the necessity of targeted training for educators to question age stereotypes and optimize teaching for older learners. The 367-page study is a valuable contribution to the discussion on education in later life and provides practical approaches for lesson planning.
