Although most universities in the United States are on a semester system, which offers classes in the fall
and spring, some schools observe a quarter system comprised of fall, winter, spring, and summer quarters.
The academic year, September to June, is divided into three quarters of eleven weeks each, beginning in
September, January, and March; the summer quarter, June to August, is composed of shorter sessions of
varying length.
There are several advantages and disadvantages to the quarter system. On the plus side, students who
wish to complete their degrees in less than the customary four years may take advantage of the opportunity
to study year round by enrolling in all four quarters. In addition, although most students begin their
programs in the fall quarter, they may enter at the beginning of any other quarters. Finally, since the physical
facilities are kept in operation year round, the resources are used effectively to serve the greatest number
of students. But there are several disadvantages as well. Many faculties complain that eleven-week term is
simply not enough for them to cover the material required by most college courses. Students also find it
difficult to complete the assignments in such a short period of time.
In order to combine the advantages of the quarter system with those of the semester system some colleges
and universities have instituted a three-term trimester system. In fourteen weeks, faculty and students have
more time to cover material and finish course requirements, but the additional term provides options for
admission during the year and accelerates the degree programs for those students who wish to graduate
early.

In the exploration of the linguistic life cycle, it is apparent that it is much more difficult to learn a second
language in adulthood than a first language in childhood. Most adults never completely master foreign
language, especially in phonology - hence the ubiquitous foreign accent. Their development often
"fossilizes" into permanent error patterns that no teaching or correction can do. Of course, there are great
individual differences, which depend on effort, attitudes, amount of exposure, quality of teaching and plain
talent, but there seems to be a cap for the best adults in the best circumstances.
Many explanations have been advanced for children's superiority: they exploit Motherless (the simplified,
repetitive conversation between parents and children), make errors oneself- consciously, are more
motivated to communicate, like to conform, are not set in their ways, and have no first language to interfere.
But some of these accounts are unlikely, based on what is known about how language acquisition works.
Recent evidence is calling these social and motivation explanations into doubt. Holding every other factor
constant, a key factor stands out: sheer age.
Systematic evidence comes from the psychologist Elisa Newport and her colleagues. They tested Korean
and Chinese-born students at the University of Illinois who had spent at least ten years in the United States.
The immigrants were given a list of 276 simple English sentences, half of them containing some
grammatical errors. The immigrants who came to the United States between the ages of 3 and 7 performed
identically to American bom students. Those who arrived between the ages of 8 and 15 did worse the later
they arrived, and those who arrived between 17 and 39 did the worst of all, and showed huge variability
unrelated to their age of arrival.
