We examine whether individual differences in language interaction predict L2 production proficiency in late L2 learners. Neural measurements of abstract (phonological) and surface (phonetic) level L1-L2 interactions in a group of Dutch (L1) learners of English (L2) and in a control group will be performed twice with an inter-test interval of one year. We will test whether reductions in abstract and/or surface L1-L2 interactions over the intertest interval predict L2 production proficiency at follow-up.
