İkinci dilin mənimsənilməsində yaş faktoru

Abstract

We answered the questions that what is second language acquisition, what is the best way to teach the second language, what is the difference between language acquire and language learning language. The first difference between learning and acquire language is that we acquire language in a subconsciously, unplanned, and natural way. But we learning language consciously and planned. There are also some kinds of factors that affect our acquiring language. Age factor is an important factor in the acquiring language process. There are some kinds of researches and evidence to prove it. We also tried to clarify Lenneberg’s Critical Period Hypothesis (CPH). The CPH refers to the idea that the ability to acquire language is related to aging and there is an ideal period of time to attain a language, after which it is no longer possible. The age of CPH is very different from scholar to scholar. But sometimes they take this period after puberty. As we mentioned above that there are some advantages and disadvantages of the language learning processes in adults and children. Age is very important in language acquisition but not a major factor. Age matters in the language learning process differently and individually. Characteristics and skills can influence this process of learning. Of course, it will be better and much more successful to encourage language learning at an early age. As the child starts learning the second language at an early age it helps the child not only learn but also acquire the second language and reach a native-like level with less effort and time.
