Alison Mackey is an Associate Professor of Linguistics at Georgetown University where she is head of the applied linguistics program. She has a range of research interests focusing on second language learning across the lifespan, specifically how additional languages are learned at different ages, looking at both younger and older children, as well as elderly adults. She has also examined the relationship between input, interaction, corrective feedback, and second language learning, the role of attention in second language learning and task-based learning in second-language classrooms. She is also interested in second language research methodologies.
She and Kendall King are the co-authors of The Bilingual Edge, a popular audience book on child second language learning recently published by HarperCollins. They are also parents. Each of them have two children who are learning second languages. They can be booked together or separately.
