  • How does the age factor affect language learning?

    Age is one of the factors that influence second language learning. It is generally believed that children are better at languages than adults. However, only the studies conducted in naturalistic learning settings provide the evidence that supports this assumption.

  • What are the factors affecting second language acquisition?

    Some of these factors include age, aptitude, native language characteristics, learning and language environment, motivation, and cognitive abilities.

  • Why is second language acquisition harder at an older age?

    For older learners, picking up a language's grammar and syntax rules can be tough because you have to retrain your brain to think of sentences in new ways. Learning a new language's correct pronunciation is also difficult because it often includes using new phonemes, or sounds, that you aren't used to making.
